Product details
Kamoizumi KomeKome “Happy Bride” Junmai Sake is a delightful low-alcohol aperitif crafted by the esteemed Kamoizumi Brewing Company in Hiroshima's Saijo district—one of Japan’s premier sake regions. Established in 1912 by the Maegaki family, Kamoizumi is renowned for its dedication to individuality and authenticity. In 1973, it became one of the pioneering breweries to commit exclusively to junmai sake production, emphasizing purity by avoiding the addition of distilled alcohol. The brewery's philosophy embraces the natural characteristics of sake, believing that elements often considered "impurities" are essential to its identity. This commitment results in sakes that are robust, full-flavored, yet elegantly balanced.
“Happy Bride” is a specialty low-alcohol sake (7% ABV) that offers a piquant and mildly sweet profile, reminiscent of a Kabinett-style Riesling. Its aroma is a captivating blend of grape, ginger, marigold, yogurt, tart berries, spices, and steamed rice. On the palate, it presents flavors of tangerine, unripe pear, lemon-lime, white grape, plum, and honey, delivering a light, thin, acidic, and dry experience with vibrant character. Rich in amino acids, this sake not only pleases the senses but is also believed to promote good health and a rosy complexion. Best served chilled, “Happy Bride” pairs wonderfully with light desserts such as sorbets and crème brûlée, and serves as an enticing introduction for wine enthusiasts new to sake.
