SHINSHU KIREI YAMAKEINISHIKI JUNMAI GINJO NAMA 信州亀齢 純米吟醸 山恵錦 無濾過生原酒 720ml
Brewed by Shinshu Kirei Shuzo (信州亀齢酒造) in Nagano Prefecture, Yamakei Nishiki Junmai Ginjo (山恵錦 純米吟醸) showcases the elegance of Nagano-grown Yamakei Nishiki rice, a local variety celebrated for its supple texture and gentle sweetness.
Bottled as a Muroka Nama Genshu (unfiltered, unpasteurised, and undiluted), it captures the vibrant life of freshly pressed sake. Aromas of green apple, pear, and rice blossom lead into a juicy, lightly effervescent palate balanced by crisp acidity and soft umami. The finish is clean, bright, and refreshing — a hallmark of Shinshu’s pristine mountain water.
