    山 形 正 宗  ま ろ ら

    This unique sake represents master brewer Tomonobu Mitobe's creative spirit and desire for innovation. It is the first sake ever brewed with malolactic fermentation (MLF). A secondary fermentation process known from wine production, where lactic acid bacteria convert malic acid into rounded lactic acid.
    Malola Junmai is created for pairing with Italian prosciutto, which contains firmness, salt and Umami. Mitobe Shuzo is actually the agent in Japan for Tanar, one of Parma's leading prosciutto producers.


    Serving: Slightly chilled, around 16C, but can also be heated to Nurukan, at 40C. Heating will enhance the flavor and bring out the umami.


    Food pairing: Serve Malola Junmai with aromatic summer tomatoes on stems. Butter roasted white asparagus. And of course Parma ham.
