Yamashiroya Zen (1800ml) 山城屋 ZEN

$169.00

This years version, a modern Kimoto, took years to perfect, the theme being “Nature”, through low intervention brewing methods, a perfect representation of the Zen aesthetic. With a mellow aroma of grain, the freshness provided by instant press to bottle creates a zippy effervescence, a light and sharp palate with strong minerality and a touch of umami, finishing clean and dry.

As a cultivation brewery, Koshimeijyo brewers have been tediously tending to their terraced rice crops throughout the summer months to produce high grade, 100% pesticide free, organic Ipponjime rice to use in this season's Zen.

Yamashiroya is one of three brands produced by Koshimeijo and the only brand available outside of Niigata. All Yamashiroya sake are developed exclusively through the Kimoto process. The theme of the brand is “Wabi-Sabi”, a term describing a Japanese aesthetic which recognizes the beauty in what is not perfect, that which is simple, modest and ruled by nature.
