Japanese Sake 日本酒

About the Sake

Princess Michiko” is a rose with beautiful contrasting green leaves and reddish-orange petals, which was presented to the  Empress, then Crown Princess Michiko, by Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom. This sake is a special sake brewed with the flower yeast isolated from the rose. Please enjoy the gorgeous and elegant aroma produced by the noble floral yeast. (Label information) 

The sake is made from carefully selected high quality rice at 40% polished rice. This Junmai Daiginjo is brewed with PM-1, a yeast successfully isolated by Tokyo University of Agriculture from the noble, bright orange color of rose flowers. The elegant and gorgeous sweet aroma unique to the flower yeast is a perfect match for the mellow sake quality of Yokoyama.

About the Taste

The sweetness of the fragrance is not overpowering, but rather gently enveloping and expansive without being too rich.
