Dry & Mineral Sake

Refreshing & mineral sakes that generally pair well with many lighter dishes, they tend to have pure aromas & be lighter on the palatte. Light & delicate, they are often more youthful sakes

Yamahai

A sibling of Kimoto, Yamahai is a traditional sake brewing technique that involves creating a yeast starter to make sake. It differs from Kimoto in that it does not require the process of mashing the rice to introduce lactic acid during fermentation, rather relying on the koji or starter to break down the rice slowly
It is characterised with a wilder & gamier profile compared to Kimoto, and often has a more textural profile
