Yamamoto Kamenoo Butterfly Purple (720ml) 山本 亀の尾 バタフライパープル

A modern expression of the ancient Kame-no-O sakamai.   Citrusy aromas of yuzu peel & grapefruit on the bouquet, with pitch perfect umami & rusticity of the rice varietal, emerging on the finish.

Drawing on the past & showcasing the Yamamoto tenor with great finesse.

Yamamoto Brewery 山本酒造店

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.
