Densho Yamahai Junmai Suehiro Sake 720ml

Densho Yamahai Junmai Sake 720ml

The name “Densho” comes from the legacy of Suehiro Brewing Company being taught the secrets of the yamahai method from Kinichiro Kagi who discovered this process around the turn of the century. This sake boasts a creamy texture with ample umami and superbly balanced acidity that makes it so easy to drink we can’t get enough. Extremely food friendly, and recommended warm, on a flat ceramic vessel if you have one.

The nose on this superb traditionally made Yamahai sake is a gentle collection of rice, bread, and cocoa elements. Bingo! A great sake at a great price point! This is a terrific "feel-good-in-the-mouth" sake that is super smooth and super round, with a gentle sweetness of tangy citrus and sweet rice. Talk about velvety! The fluid of this sake is soft and heavy, but that amazing feeling is perfectly matched with unique flavors. This is a very solid introduction to a Yamahai sake that has many attributes of an old-school brew.
