Sake and Shochu Gumi

 

This bottle is a Sake Gumi selection! It was featured in Oct 2024.

This lightly golden yamahai junmai is a great food pairing sake. Brewer Yujiro Tajima says of the yeast used to make this sake, “We received the yeast directly from the creator of flower yeast, Professor Hisayasu Nakata. After getting the yeast from Nakata-san, we’ve carried out the cultivation in-house.” Made with sakura yeast, an isoamyl acetate-type yeast that emits banana-like aromas, this sake has a lingering finish that has flavors of cooked rice and savory bitterness. These assertive flavors are delicious with foods that are mouth-watering – like umeboshi or thinly sliced cuts of roast beef or steak. Enjoy at room temperature or warm in a ceramic cup.
