The Kamoizumi Nigori Ginjo Summer Snow from Timeless Wines is unique premium sake that boasts of delicious flavors. This strong unfiltered sake is fresh and semi-sweet sake that gives elegance to the name. This Summer Snow is light and fresh, compared with very sweet and strong sakes that are crafted in the United States. Since the Kamoisumi Brewing Company sits in the region of Saijo, the region’s water source and climate lends to the flavor of this fine sake. Good quality rice is used to craft the famous sakes that come from this brewery. The founders of the Kamoisumi Brewing Company were initially rice farmers who progressed to rice milling and sake brewing. In the mid 1960’s the brewery was one of the breweries that continued with junmai sake production, although breweries all over the country abandoned the process due to monetary gain. The brewery announced its first junmai sake in the 1970’s, although some breweries removed impurities from the sake with a charcoal method. Since the Kamoisumi Brewing Company believed these components shaped the characteristic of the sake, they maintained the nature of the sake and continued to brew with traditional methods. There is no brewery in Japan that has kept its level of individuality and the sakes produced in this brewery are truly distinct. Due to the brewery’s distinct reputation, the Kamoizumi Nigori Ginjo Summer Snow is a fantastic choice of sake.

Reviews:
"Inviting aromas of black and blue fruits with violets, cedar, crushed stones and graphite. A little minty, too. The impressive, compact tannin structure gives depth to the wine, so fine and polished with some chalky texture to it. Stony minerality. Power and delicacy, simultaneously. 65% cabernet sauvignon and 35% cabernet franc. Really long and precise."
