Yamamoto No.6 Kobo Junmai Ginjo (720ml) 山本 6号酵母 純米吟醸

The Next5 group of breweries in Akita collaborate actively. The famed No.6 Kobo (Yeast) from ARAMASA, yields a fruity nose, much like green apple while on the palate, expressing gentle umami & vivid acidity. For a muroka nama genshu, it is approachable & overall, a very well balanced sake.

6号酵母とは協会6号酵母のことで、通称「新政酵母」とも呼ばれる酵母です。非常に優秀な酵母で80年以上の時を経ても尚、現在も使用されている最古のものです。青リンゴのようなフルーティーな香りと、穏やかな旨味、鮮やかな酸味が特徴。無濾過生原酒としては親しみやすく、全体的に非常にバランスが取れています。派手なラベルに飾られることなく、6号酵母の魅力を発揮するという特別な目的で造られました。山本ならではのキレの良さと、はつらつとした酸が印象的です。

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.
