Jungin Hiire EK-7

EK-7, Ehime's proprietary yeast strain developed for its distinctive lychee-like aroma, takes center stage in this Junmai Ginjo from Chiyonokame Shuzo. Founded in 1716 in Ikazaki, Ehime, the brewery uses locally farmed Matsuyama Mii rice polished to 55%, producing a fragrant, pasteurized expression that balances tropical fruitiness with the clean umami depth of junmai brewing.
