Yamamoto Akita Royal Flush (720ml) 山本 秋田ロイヤルストレートフラッシュ

Posessing a very subtle nose of pear and papaya, however slightly restrained on the palate for Yamamoto. There is a silky texture to the mouth coating umami. Ultimately very characteristic of Yamamoto sake is its juicy and balanced nature.

オーナー兼杜氏の山本社長は、秋田のテロワールが凝縮された酒を造ろうと大胆な試みをしました。それは秋田を代表する酒米5品種と5種類の酵母を1つの発酵タンクで発酵させるという、前代未聞であり奇想天外な酒造りです。洋ナシとパパイヤの非常に繊細な香りを感じますが、山本にしてはやや控えめな味わい。絹のような舌触りで、口中をうまみが覆います。これでもかというほど郷土愛を注ぎ込んだ最強酒ということで、ポーカー最強の役である、ロイヤル・ストレート・フラッシュになぞらえ、カジノテーブルをイメージした緑色、そしてしっとりとした手触りの化粧箱にもこだわっています。

Owner and Toji Yamamoto-san, hatched an audacious brewing experiment in the hope that it would fully encapsulate the sake terroir of Akita. The Royal Straight Flush, the five most powerful cards in a deck, all in one hand. These cards represent two most unique aspects of this extraordinary brew, the use of 5 different types of Akita grown sake rice and 5 separate varieties of sake yeast strains all in one fermentation tank.

Among the aspects which make Yamamoto sake extraordinary are the intrepid and unusual products such as the Yamamoto Wine, a sake made with a combination of sake and chardonnay yeasts and matured in oak barrels and the Yamamoto Royal Flush, a sake made with five separate sake rice varieties and five separate yeasts, culminating in brews which are out of the box and captivating. Above all, Yamamoto sake is wonderfully easy drinking and vibrantly fresh tasting.
