Yonetsuru Junmai Ginjō Kimoto No. 6 Yeast

Yonetsuru Junmai Ginjō Kimoto No. 6 Yeast is a limited edition junmai ginjo crafted using the traditional kimoto brewing method and offers a unique and nuanced flavour profile. The aroma is complex, with notes of green apple, pear, and citrus and subtle alcoholic sharpness. It presents a medium-bodied texture with a velvety mouthfeel that highlights the rich character of the rice. The flavour is well-balanced, with a slight sweetness that transitions into a dry, refreshing finish. A distinctive sour note lingers, a hallmark of kimoto-brewed sakes. While kimoto sakes are often associated with bolder, fuller-bodied profiles, this particular example offers a lighter, more approachable style.
