An elegantly clean refined sake, 100% made in Akita. The rice was grown locally by the brewers themselves, who also created the original yeast (BL531). The taste is pure and has a refreshing body, while the aroma is quite subtle, making it an easy sake to pair with any dish! The yamahai method is a traditional way of producing the fermentation starter using ambient lactic acid bacilli.

TYPE: Yamahai junmai daiginjo sake 

COLOUR: Clear water white

OUR TASTING NOTES: Banana ice cream, apple, and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Cleansing high acidity with balanced fruity profile of pears and spices. A full-body sake with a long and subtle dry finish which gives great structure to the taste.

FOOD PAIRING: Chicken nanban (fried chicken with sweet tartar sauce); deep fried white bait and scampi; arancini.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve chilled (8-12ºC) or at room temperature

STORAGE: Store in a dry and cool place. Avoid direct sunlight.
