Product Description
This is a rare Junmai Daiginjo sake crafted without the addition of cultivated yeast. While this natural brewing method demands significant time, effort, and technical skill, Toji (Master Brewer) Philip Harper notes that "brewing naturally adds depth to the expression of *umami*." It elegantly captures the profound character of the *Yamahai* method. The ultimate in luxury, this sake is produced by suspending the fermentation mash in bags and collecting only the *nama-zake* (unpasteurized sake) that drips out under gravity, without any external pressure. It offers a refined aroma and a smooth, crystalline mouthfeel. The *umami* of the rice expands gently yet magnificently, accompanied by a pure sweetness and the pleasant acidity characteristic of *Yamahai* brewing. It is a masterpiece that harmonizes robust, alcohol-rich power with an elegant, understated *Ginjo* fragrance.
