About

A rich sake with well-aged umami and a crisp finish from the distinctive acidity of yamahai (a traditional starter method that relies on naturally occurring lactic acid). Yamahai gives it a substantial, weighty feel as it goes down the throat, which you can enjoy slowly. It is well suited to chilled or room-temperature serving as well as to warming (kan).
