후모토이 특별 준마이 아츠칸준마이

Brewed using the labor-intensive kimoto method at Fumotoi Shuzo in Sakata, Yamagata, where indigenous lactic acid bacteria are cultivated naturally to build a starter culture that adds depth, acidity, and complexity no modern process can replicate. Miyamanishiki rice grown in Yamagata Prefecture is brewed with unfiltered snowmelt groundwater drawn from pristine beech forests at the foot of Mt. Chokai, the volcanic peak that defines the Shonai landscape. Dry and full-bodied with soft richness, clean sharpness, and a light finish, this junmai is specifically designed to open beautifully when warmed: the heat draws out rice umami and a quiet, lingering depth that cooling would suppress.
