About
Brewed with yeast cultivated through the traditional yamahai starter method (yamahai, a time-honored method that relies on naturally occurring lactic acid), this junmai sake was matured slowly at the brewery. Showing both the crisp, clean finish characteristic of yamahai brewing and the full umami of the rice, it has a "dodo" (dignified, commanding) character. It pairs superbly with seafood dishes such as sashimi and sushi, and is favored by many restaurants in Kanazawa. Its robust flavor can be enjoyed both chilled and warmed (kan).
