Karahashi Yamada-nishiki - 720ml

Product information "Karahashi Yamada-nishiki - 720ml"

Karahashi Yamada-nishiki of Aizu Homare is a Muroka Genshu (Fresh Aged) sake made with hundred percent Yamada-nishiki rice, exclusively obtained from the Hyogo prefecture. Carefully brewed with ultra soft water, "Kitakara Meisui," from a depth of 100 meters below ground. After the press process, the sake is immediately bottled and space is given to mature the flavors. This is followed by fast cooling up to -5 Celsius in a cooled room. Every step in making this sake is carried out under strict supervision, until just before it is ready for shipment. 

This beautiful made sake reveals a bouquet that is reminiscent of apples and tropical fruit, with an exuberant scent. The unique and extensive flavor profile, specific to Yamada-Nishiki, is characterized by its lush and balanced interplay of acidity and sweetness. The refreshing, crispy aftertaste with a touch of sharpness is another characteristic of this exceptional sake, the result of dedicated craftsmanship and accurate control until the moment it is served in your glass.
