Introducing BRILLIANCE Kame no O, the flagship model from Kamonishiki, famous for its juicy nama-zake, Nifuda-zake. Unlike Nifuda-zake, this one is a light, crisp style built around umami. A clean ginjo aroma nestles alongside a subtle sweetness of rice. A gently unfurling umami, and toward the back a faint acidity together with Kame no O's astringency, create a crisp finish.
