Kokken - Yamahai Junmai Sake (720ml)
Experience the depth and richness of Kokken Yamahai Junmai, a sake that embodies the traditional Yamahai brewing method. Crafted by the award-winning Kokken Brewery in Fukushima's Southern Aizu region, this Junmai showcases the brewery's dedication to premium sake production. They exclusively brew Tokutei Meisho-shu, or Premium Grade Sake, using only registered sake rice varietals and the pristine water of their lush, snowy surroundings.
This particular sake uses Yamada Nishiki rice, polished to 60%. The Yamahai method, known for its longer, slower fermentation, develops a more robust and complex flavor profile. This aged sake offers a heady, mature aroma. The flavor is deep and round, performing beautifully when gently warmed.
The bold character of Kokken Yamahai Junmai makes it a perfect match for richer, more flavorful dishes. Pair it with cuisine that features fat, oil, garlic, or spice. This sake's complexity can stand up to, and enhance, these bolder flavors. It's a true taste of Fukushima, beloved by locals and a testament to Kokken's brewing mastery.
