[Tsukiyoshi Moegi Yamahai Junmai Sake]
Enjoy the signature acidity of Yamahai, either chilled or warmed.
This is a Yamahai Junmai sake brewed using lactic acid fermentation from plant-based lactic acid bacteria.
Made with Hitogokochi rice polished to 70%, it fully draws out the distinct acidity characteristic of the Yamahai method.
The aroma is gentle, with a subtle nuance reminiscent of apple.
On the palate, it unfolds with a mellow umami and sweetness, balanced by a distinct, yogurt-like acidity that tightens the flavor profile.
Despite its sweet and savory profile with a Sake Meter Value (SMV) of -16, the robust acidity of 3.3 ensures a clean finish.
It offers a light, refreshing experience when chilled, while warming it further accentuates its rich umami.
This is a bottle to enjoy for its transformation in flavor across a range of temperatures, from chilled to warmed.
