Description
Kikuhime Yamahaijunmai is a junmai sake produced using the traditional yamahai starter method by Kikuhime Shuzo in Ishikawa, considered a benchmark of the style. The yamahai process allows natural lactic acid bacteria to develop over several weeks without stirring, producing a sake with rich umami, firm acidity, and a savory, complex depth that demonstrates Kikuhime's dedication to traditional brewing methods.
