About
A junmai daiginjo brewed by the traditional yamahai method (yamahai-zukuri), which draws out the full power of lactic acid bacteria. It carries the weighty umami typical of yamahai brewing, while also offering a refreshing, sharp acidity and a clean finish with a light, smooth mouthfeel. Enjoy it with grilled or flame-seared dishes, whose toasted aromas complement its character.
