Junmai Yukihikosan.
Impressive for its robust rice flavor. It is said to go well with salty food.
Junmai Ginjyo Yukihikoyama Unfiltered Unrefined Sake
Very rich and delicious. It is said to go well with hamburgers with tomato sauce.

A little expensive, but not impressive because it is too refreshing.

The floral yeast aroma reminds one of floral yeast. The taste is also fruity and sweet.
The brewery staff talked a lot about pairing and dishes that go well with sake, and it was interesting to hear about sake and wine and palate flavoring.
He told me that they had used other types of flower yeast, but this was the only one they could sell. He said it was because the aroma and taste were not flowery enough.
