Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginjo Aiyama

山 形 正 宗　純 米 吟 醸　亀 の 尾

This incredible sake is brewed with a sake rice variety that is among the hardest to source on the market in Japan. Only very small quantities are produced and only in Hyogo Prefecture. Aiyama rice is famous for its refined sweetness, which is referenced visually by the beautiful lavender-toned label on the bottle.

The aroma is sweet, caramelized with appetizing greenish notes. The color in the glass has a cool green hue, almost bluish. In the mouth, there is a fantastic flow of sweetness and acidity, with fruity elements, recalling tropical fruit. The balance of the flavor is carried by a veil of ultra-fine bubbles that create counterpoint to the sweetness.
