Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

About
Kauboi Yamahai Tender is a product in the Kauboi Yamahai series, created for meat dishes enjoyed around the world. While retaining the rich acidity and umami of yamahai (traditional yeast-starter method), the alcohol content is held to 14.5%, making it an easier-drinking sake to enjoy with food. It was developed to meet export demand in countries such as those in Europe and North America, where low-alcohol sake is preferred, and to respond to feedback from drinkers who find genshu (undiluted sake) too strong to enjoy more than a small amount.
