Description
Akimasari rice from Kumamoto Prefecture is polished to 65% and fermented with the traditional Kumamoto yeast to produce this junmai with a rich, well-rounded umami that holds its character across a wide temperature range. The 2016 Slow Food Japan Kanzake Contest Gold Prize recognizes its particular quality when served warmed.
