Yamamoto Bizenomachi

Bizen Omachi rice from Okayama Prefecture anchors this junmai ginjo from Akita, where the variety's inherent dryness and vivid acidity are fully drawn out rather than softened. Aromas of green apple and a lively, tart sweetness characterize the palate, with a slightly bitter finish that extends the experience. The Yamamoto house style accentuates the assertive, acidic qualities native to Omachi, resulting in a notably bold expression of this ancient rice variety.
