Kariho - Namahage Yamahai Junmai Dry Sake (720ml)
Kariho Namahage Yamahai Junmai Dry Sake, is a full-bodied, dry sake from Akita, Japan. This sake offers a harmonious balance of round sweetness and refreshing acidity, creating a complex and savory flavor profile.
Best served chilled or at room temperature, this versatile sake pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, from grilled meats to savory seafood.
With a history dating back to 1850, Kariho Brewery upholds the time-honored traditions of sake brewing. Nestled in Akita's fertile rice-growing region, the brewery benefits from the ideal climate and pure water sources of the Ou mountains.
Kariho Namahage's distinct character is achieved through the traditional yamahai brewing method. This labor-intensive process involves a long, slow fermentation at low temperatures, resulting in a rich, complex flavor profile. The use of naturally occurring lactic acid and yeast further enhances the sake's unique taste, while the sakafune shibori pressing method, using six rare wooden presses, contributes to its exceptional balance and depth.
