Sakes are typically brewed with a single rice varietal and at times, 2 varietals may be incorporated, with one designated for Koji preparation and the other for the main moromi.
Yamamoto san, owner and Toji, hatched an audacious brewing experiment in the hope that it would fully encapsulate the sake terroir of Akita.
5 rice varietals & 5 yeast strains, from Akita are incorporated into the Yamamoto Royal Straight Flush.
