The yeast isolated from our ginjo unrefined sake in the 1965 brewing year was registered and distributed to the Japan Brewers Association as "Kyokai No. 12 Yeast". We have now revived sake brewing with this yeast for the first time in many years.
The result is a junmai ginjo-shu with a pleasantly sharp taste characterized by a mild aroma and pleasant acidity.

◻︎ I like it because it is easy to drink and has a nice sharpness, although it also has a sourness.
Delicious.

Ripe banana, apricot, orange, and fig-like fruit flavors give a mellow impression. Spicy white pepper impressions and earthy minerality bring a brawny backbone while the whole thing comes together like a sphere at the end, making this sake very versatile for drinking as a food sake.

This is a limited-quantity sake that is shipped only to a more limited number of sake stores among those that carry Kudoki-Ute.
The yeast used is M310.
It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma that is typical of Kudokidokute, a flavor of rice without any cloying taste, and a soft and gentle fruity taste.
