Aged to perfection for 12 years
Despite 12 years of aging, this sake still has a shocking amount of acidity due to the technique of using 99% koji rice, compared to the industry standard of 20%. Yamahai method of yeast starter and bottling at “genshu” (undiluted) strength add to the acidity and intensity of this contemplative sake.

Umami-rich, dried seafood pairs well with yamahai sake. For sake ware, we recommend cups or tools that can be for warmed or chilled sake.
