Asamayama Kimotojunmai

🍶

Description

Asama Shuzo employs the traditional kimoto brewing method for this Junmai, using Dewa Sansan rice polished to 60% to develop a fermentation starter with naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria. The kimoto process, requiring twice the labor of modern methods, produces a sake with deeper complexity and a fuller flavor profile than standard Junmai.
