What is Kamoshibito Kuheiji Betsuatsurae Junmai Daiginjo?
Kamoshibito Kuheiji Betsuatsurae Junmai Daiginjo is a premium sake created by Banjo Jozo, a historic brewery located in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. The name “Betsuatsurae” means “specially tailored” — and true to its name, this sake is crafted with extraordinary care, precision, and dedication.
It is brewed using Yamada Nishiki rice from the prestigious Special A region in Hyogo, polished down to just 35%. The resulting flavor is clean and refined, with elegant notes of lychee, white peach, and soft white florals, accompanied by a smooth umami body and gentle acidity.
Its wine-like elegance allows it to pair beautifully not only with Japanese dishes but also with French and Italian cuisine. Loved by both domestic and international connoisseurs, this sake is also an excellent choice for gifts or celebratory occasions.
