Description

Koikawashuzo Koigataki Junmai Daiginjo Kameno takes the brewery's commitment to Kame-no-o rice a step further under the Koigataki (Carp Waterfall) sub-label, evoking the traditional image of a carp ascending a waterfall as a symbol of perseverance and excellence. Kame-no-o is a pre-modern heirloom rice revived in Yamagata's Shonai region, and at Junmai Daiginjo grade it delivers a uniquely deep, layered flavor profile. The dragon-carp name suggests this is a top-tier expression within Koikawa Shuzo's Kame-no-o series.
