- Yeast: Hiroshima LeG-Sou
This sake uses "Hiroshima LeG-Sou," a new yeast developed by Hiroshima Prefecture. This yeast is inherited from the oldest yeast in Japan, Hiroshima No. 6, which was isolated in the Taisho era (1912-1926), and is characterized by producing about three times more malic acid and more isoamyl acetate.
It is not a regular junmai sake, but was created to have a juicy flavor with low alcohol content. The same Fukuro-hozuri method is used as for the exhibited sake, and only 300 liters can be obtained from one pressing, a labor-intensive process.
Taste and Aroma
It has a fresh apple aroma and a sweet aroma reminiscent of bananas.
