🍶 Discover the essence of Nagomi Town in Kumamoto with Ubusuna Yamada Nishiki Ninoujyo. This kimoto-style sake is crafted by Hananoka Sake Brewery, showcasing the terroir with local rice and yeast.

Produced using Yamada Nishiki rice and Kumamoto #9 yeast, this sake expresses the unique characteristics of its origin. The natural fermentation process imparts delicate aromas of muscat grape, green apple, and a hint of rice powder and yogurt.

The palate reveals a light effervescence with soft sweetness and refreshing acidity. It maintains a balance of fruity pear notes and yogurt-like lacticness, offering a well-defined profile.

Light and easy to drink at 13% ABV, this sake is complex, with a texture that harmonizes with the local brewing water's 'toromi' (viscosity).
