This Junmai Ginjo premium naturally fermented pure sake is also the product of over a century’s bond between this region’s farmers and brewers. Large-grain Yamada Nishiki, Yokawa Hyogo’s “special A”Grand Cru terroir, polished to 59%, and brewed without additives or accelerants. Opening with notes of ripe pear, followed by plum or yellow peach sweetness, the rice’s umami and hint of acidity leave a dry and airy rich afterglow.
