Kanbara “Ancient Treasure”
Niigata prefecture
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 gensu strength add to the acidity and intensity of this contemplative sake.
