Complex in the best way
A flagship product since 2014, “Junmai Daiginjo 40” is made with a blend of two different yeast strains, Association No. 1801 and 1001. It is only brewed in January and February when the weather is coldest at the brewery, and then stored at 23 °F. Freshly opened, the aroma is a vivid bouquet of flowers. The flavor starts full of sweet nectar and light pepper that mellows as it finishes.
Actual vintage year may differ from product image shown.
