YOSHIKUBO BREWING

Made using Tamasakae rice polished to 70%, it delivers a smooth, creamy texture balanced with dry clarity. This dry junmai sake is a recreation of the one enjoyed by a legendary pirate, making it the perfect companion for hearty meals of meat and fish. Aromas of dried fruit, peach, and chestnut mingle with savoury notes of mushroom, roasted vegetables, and toast, creating a sophisticated yet approachable sake experience.
