Yamamoto Ice Blue (720ml) 山本アイスブルー

Bursting with vibrant acidity, this premium Junmai Daiginjo, is brewed in artisanally small batches in the Akita cedar fermentation cask. Deep nuances of cedar oak are contrasted by ripe nashi pear and a finish that is surprisingly refreshing and crisp.

国内で唯一、秋田杉の木桶で仕込んでいるという逸品。秋田杉の木桶で仕込んだ限定純米大吟醸酒です。商品名はラベルや箱に使用した青い箔が、氷の結晶のように見えたことから名付けられました。杉樽の深いニュアンスと熟した梨の風味が対照的で、柔らかくも爽快さを感じる綺麗な酸が印象的な仕上がりです。

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.
