Since 2001, we have been working with local farmers to try our hand at brewing Kame-no-o sake. Sake brewed with Kame-no-o is sold as the "Turtle Label" series with an illustration of a turtle on it. Various turtles appear throughout the year, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the charm of Kame-no-o. Kame-no-o is a rice that gives a very different impression depending on the rice polishing ratio and whether or not it is hiya-aged. (See below for details). Kame-label GOLD is a junmai-daiginjo once-hiked sake made from Kame-no-o rice polished to 45%. It has a gorgeous, grape-like ginjo aroma. The delicate and sharp quality of the sake is refreshing all the way down the throat, but after swallowing, there is a slight bitterness from the Kame-no-o that adds a nice accent and keeps you coming back for the next cup." (from the official website) (From the official website) It was fresh to see the gold leaf of the accompanying logo floating on the boar's mouth. I had the impression that it was a bit unusual for a junmai daiginjo, as it had a strong flavor.
