Heart of Sake - 酒の心
Wow!!! This sake is made using sake yeast #1. This yeast was the first sake yeast to be isolated. It was done at a brewery in the Nada area of Hyogo prefecture in 1906! It is no longer available through the Japanese Brewers Association, so it is a rare yeast indeed. Almost no aroma at all, but a big, bold flavor. Round and full in the mouth with a nice acidity and long finish. A truly special sake from one of my favorite breweries.
