Kizakura Yamahai Jikomi 黄桜山廃持込 日本酒 720ml

Produced by Kizakura Shuzo (黄桜酒造) in Fushimi, Kyoto, Kizakura Yamahai Jikomi (黄桜 山廃仕込) is brewed using the traditional Yamahai method, a time-honoured technique that allows natural lactic acid fermentation to develop rich, complex flavours.

The result is a sake with deep umami, gentle acidity, and a layered, savoury profile. Expect notes of toasted rice, caramel, nuts, and dried fruit, with a smooth, full-bodied texture and lingering warmth. This sake can be enjoyed chilled for balance or warmed for richness, making it a versatile choice for food pairing.
