The new sake is brewed during winter season and sealed in the bottle immediately at the tank. It is a fresh, unfiltered, unfiltered sake with a well-balanced aroma and a small amount of gassiness from being stored in bottles at sub-zero temperatures (-5°C) for several months before release. It is a direct draft of the new “THE PREMIUM” series, made from 40% Yamada-Nishiki rice, which is highly suited for sake brewing.

Yamma No.12 Junmai-Daiginjo Muroka Genshu / 山間 12号 純米大吟醸 無濾過原酒 中採り直詰め

Yamma No. 12 is a special sake brewed by Niigata Daiichi Shuzo. This sake is a Junmai Daiginjo Nakadori direct-filling, unfiltered, unrefined sake, produced in very limited quantities. Characteristically, the sake rice called “Koshitanrei” harvested in the local terraced rice fields is polished to 50%, and only the “Nakadori” portion, which is said to have the most stable aroma, is used by direct filling from the Kameguchi. As a result, it has a very gorgeous aroma and smooth mouthfeel, with a concentrated rich sweet flavor. In addition, after being fired in the bottle once, it is aged in ice-cold storage for about six months, which gives it a very refined and noble flavor.
