【KAMOKINSHU Sakura Fubuki Junmai Daiginjo】

Founded in 1880, Kanemitsu Shuzo is located in Kurose-cho, Higashi-Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and has a history of more than 140 years. The brewery was once known primarily for its “Sakura Fubuki” label, but under the leadership of the fifth-generation brewer, Hidetoki Kanemitsu, a new brand, “Kamo Kinshu,” was launched when he was 28 years old. Believing that small breweries should focus on quality, he began producing sake in small batches. In 2010, Kamo Kinshu won first place at the Hiroshima Saijo tasting competition. Saijo is one of the most important sake regions in Japan, home to many powerhouse breweries, and competition there is intense every year. Kamo Kinshu’s success in such an environment brought nationwide recognition. Kanemitsu Shuzo is known not only for Kamo Kinshu, but also for preserving the long-established Sakura Fubuki label and earning numerous awards at various sake competitions.

This special “Kamo Kinshu Sakura Fubuki Junmai Daiginjo, Competition Brew” is carefully crafted as a sake submitted to the National New Sake Awards. It is made entirely from Senbon Nishiki grown in Takamiya, Aki-Takada City, Hiroshima Prefecture, polished to around 40%, and brewed to Junmai Daiginjo specifications. The aroma is elegant and fruit-driven, leaning toward apple and white peach, refined rather than overly explosive. On the palate, it feels gentle, with a soft rice sweetness and a subtle fruity sweetness. The body is clean, the structure delicate, and the finish crisp and polished, making it a representative expression of Kanemitsu Shuzo’s Junmai-focused approach to national-level competition brewing.
