Kamoshibito, Kuheji, Betsu Atsurae, EAU DU DESIR 2022, Junmai-Daiginjo (BANJO JOZO co.,Ltd.)

Tasting Comment

You feel the flavor of melon and pear. When you drop it in your mouth, Umami and the sophisticated acidity and sweetness come first. A little bid of bitterness follows. The texture is very smooth. It is elegant but thick and rich. The flavor lasts long and it is comfortable. It has a good structure. This bottle must be one of the tops in Japanese Sake.

The tips of this Ippon

The brewing style of this brewery is close to Bourgogne wine. Most of Japanese Sake breweries buy rice and brew their Japanese Sake. But, this brewery tries growing their own rice and brews bottles with their own rice. Their belief is “It all begins in the rice fields”. This phrase is in the top of their homepage. They also keep making challenge. They acquired a brewery in Bourgogne and stared to brew their wine. Their effort made success and their Japanese Sake is now listed in 3 stars restaurants in France. Their Japanese Sake is beyond standard Japanese Sake. You can find the new style in it. It merges the charms of French wine and Japanese Sake. This bottle is the flag ship bottle of “Kamoshibito”. It breaks new ground. It is not Japanese Sake, but it is not an imitation of French wine. It merges both characteristics and found a own originality. If you find it, you must try at once.
