Somi Yamada-Nishiki 39 represents the perfect blend of tradition and evolution.
Using “kuratsuki yeast,” which has thrived for over 400 years, the sake achieves a profound, complex flavor through precise yeast additions.
The soft underground water from the Masuda River further enhances its smooth character, creating a sake that only Migita Honten can produce.
The fermentation process was closely monitored daily, and low-temperature aging ensured the harmonious blend of fragrance and flavor.
The pressing was conducted at the perfect moment, resulting in a sake that simultaneously highlights both its aroma and umami.
