About
The two pillars of Kamikokoro's futsushu (standard sake) lineup, Kahou and Meiho, have long been loved locally. They are cherished not only by customers who have been drinking them for years but also by families who have enjoyed them across generations, to the point that locally, Kamikokoro is practically synonymous with Kahou and Meiho. Its full-bodied flavor embodies the wish of generations of brewery owners and toji to convey the umami of rice to those who drink it. Although the market has a strong preference for ginjo, in tasting comparisons at events Kahou holds its own in popularity even among ginjo sake. Please savor the flavor that Kamikokoro has continued to produce for 100 years. Kahou comes in a kamimaki (paper-wrapped) format and is greatly appreciated for ceremonial offerings and as a gift.
