With the natural yeast-cultivating method yamahai(“山廢”), this Tengumai (天狗舞)Junmai sake boasts a strong body that is quite different from the trendy floral-fruity sake. The time-consuming process yields rich rice aroma, emphasizing on the sweet and earthy notes, sometimes reminiscent of the Chinese “yellow wine”. Holds up well with strong flavor food. Would be good to drink warm too!
The rice variety is Gohyakumangoku, polished down to 60% of original weight. Brewed in Ishikawa.
