Description
Hiraizumi Yamahai Junmai Maruhi 12 is a lower-alcohol (approximately 12% ABV) expression from Hiraizumi Honpo in Nikaho, Akita, brewed using the ancient yamahai method that relies on naturally occurring lactic bacteria. This approach builds complex acidity and rich rice character, while the reduced alcohol level creates a lighter, more accessible style within the brewery's signature acidic, full-flavored tradition.
