Using Kumamoto (Association No. 9) yeast, which this brewery/research facility first isolated in 1952, Kumamotoken Shuzokenkyusho has brewed a fruity summer junmai that pairs easily with meals. This limited-edition release opens with aromas of banana and apple. On the palate, it offers sweetness and acidity featuring notes of black cherry and citrus. Enjoy this sake chilled alongside light or vinegared dishes, such as white fish carpaccio or grilled chicken.
