In 100 words or less tell us what is Gunmaizumi’s appeal?
Yamahai is a technique that combines the power of nature, through naturally occurring lactobacilli that live in the brewery, with the experience, skills, and hard work of the brewers to grow a yeast starter. It’s an ancient Japanese technique that is rarely practised these days.
We brew Sake with a strong natural acidity, and a deep luscious flavour.
Which Sake, from Gunmaizumi’s line up do you recommend?
Usumidori
