澤姫 Sawahime
Sawahime Yamahai Murouka Nama Genshu (720ml)
澤姫 山廃純米 真・地酒宣言 無濾過生原酒
井上清吉商店㈱, 栃木
Inoue Seikichi Shoten, Tochigi
* Singapore is the only country, out of Japan, where this sake is available. Only 800 bottles of this sake are produced each year.
Tasting Notes: Rich, diverse and intense but yet scores brilliantly on the drinkability factor. A bold Yamahai sake with textural complexity given that it's undiluted, unpasteurized & not having undergone charcoal filtration.
Outstanding when paired with steaks & yakiniku.
Beverage Notes: Yamahai 山廃 - Sake made using a special method during the yeast starter (moto) stage. This allows more strange bacteria and wild yeast to have an effect on the flavor. In short, the flavour is earthier and gamy, with higher acidity and sweetness.
