Kamoizumi Brewery Virtual Tour & Tasting (September 1, 2020)

Join us on our next sake adventure—to Hiroshima and the famous brewing town of Saijo. Here we’ll meet the Maegaki family, rice wholesalers who transitioned into sake brewing at the turn of the 20th century. They established Kamoizumi Brewing Co. in 1912 and in 1967 were one of the first breweries to launch junmai sakes in post-war Japan, a focus they have continued to this day. To say Kamoizumi sakes have character is an understatement; brimming with individuality they are bold yet elegant, full-bodied with a distinct taste profile. We will tour and taste with Kamoizumi’s affable president Kazuhiro Maegaki, toji Toshiyuki Shintani, and overseas sales representative Gautier Moysset.
