Hori
I received a bottle of Kameizumi Junmai Ginjo CEL-24.
This is the sake I most wanted to try when I first started enjoying sake, and it is one of the bottles that I remember being shocked when I actually drank it. For me, it is like the origin of sake.
It has been more than a year since I last drank it, but one sip reminded me vividly of the impression I had then.
It still has the same pineapple feeling. It is so pineapple that it is hard to believe it is made from rice. If you drink it without knowing anything about it, at least no one will think it is sake. So if I ever have a chance to give sake to someone who doesn't drink sake, I will definitely choose this one.
After drinking about 200 bottles of sake so far, I think that the first drink is very important. As in all hobbies, the first one you encounter will stay in your memory forever and will continue to be the benchmark for everything you encounter after that. For me, I am glad it was this CEL-24 from Kameizumi.
I personally think this is one of the masterpieces in sake, including in terms of ease of purchase.
