Kumamoto prefecture
Using Association No. 9 (Kumamoto Yeast), which this brewery/research facility first isolated in 1952, Kumamotoken Shuzokenkyusho has brewed a fruity summer junmai that pairs easily with meals. This limited-edition release opens with aromas of banana and apple. On the palate, it offers sweetness and acidity featuring notes of black cherry and citrus. Enjoy this sake chilled alongside light or vinegared dishes, such as white fish carpaccio or grilled chicken.
Complete your home izakaya with a snack and ware carefully selected by Tippsy — with no additional shipping fees!
Try some authentic Japanese drinking snacks to pair with flavorful junmai sake. For sake ware, we recommend glasses or cups that highlight the sake’s umami.
