NIKITATSU JUNMAI GINJO SAKURAHIME KOBO 水口酒造 - 仁喜多津 櫻花酵母 純米吟釀 720ml

Brewed by Mizuguchi Shuzo (水口酒造) in Ehime Prefecture, Nikitatsu Junmai Ginjo Sakurahime Kobo (仁喜多津 櫻花酵母 純米吟釀) is a beautifully aromatic sake made with the brewery’s signature “Sakurahime Kobo” yeast, cultivated from local cherry blossoms.

This unique yeast imparts a gentle floral aroma and soft sweetness, creating a sake that feels like spring in a glass. Expect notes of white peach, cherry blossom, and steamed rice, balanced by a clean acidity and silky mouthfeel. A pure, elegant expression of Ehime’s soft water and coastal terroir.
