This sake made from rice, koji and alcohol (which replaces water) is a daiginjo which means that the rice has been 50% polished giving it a drier and fruitier taste. Two gold leaves in the shape of cherry blossoms are visible in the bottle and fall nicely into the lucky person's glass! This sake of particularly esteemed quality won the gold medal at the National New Sake Competition and in April 2014, when Shinzo Abe met President Obama, it was this Kamotsuru sake that was offered to them.

In 1873, Wahei KIMURA invented his sake which he named Kamotsuru and whose brewery became a company in 1918. To produce high quality sake, it is not only water quality, but also rice polishing techniques that are essential. To overcome the limitation of polishing carried out using a grinding wheel powered by a water mill, the company purchased from the Satake company the first rice polishing machine in Japan, developed in 1898. Thanks to this technological advance, the polishing rate increased to 75%, a first for the time. In addition to having won first prize at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900, in 1970, and for 18 consecutive years, this sake of particularly esteemed quality won the gold medal at the National Competition for New Sake and in April 2014, when Shinzo Abe met President Obama, they were offered Kamotsuru sake. This event, still in everyone's memory, made the sakes of the Kamotsuru brewery, this great name in sake breweries, even more popular.
