Product details
Kameizumi Namazake is crafted in Kochi prefecture, where the brand is celebrated for its innovative use of the CEL-24 yeast strain—unique to this region. This yeast enhances natural fruit-driven aromatics and acidity, resulting in an expression that feels both lively and indulgent. Produced with precision and bottled in its purest form, it showcases the house’s dedication to character and vibrancy, with every detail reflecting both origin and craftsmanship.
On the senses, it immediately opens with the signature yeasty, biscuity impression characteristic of a fresh “namazake.” The palate is soft, luscious, and abundantly fruity, leaning into its very sweet profile. Tropical tones mingle with a gentle richness, leaving a round and expressive finish. Best served chilled, it pairs beautifully with decadent dishes such as foie gras, bold cheeses like blue, or elevated seafood preparations such as grilled lobster with herbs—offering a refined harmony of flavors.
