Plucked from a garden
This junmai is made with begonia flower yeast, which only those who studied under the professor who isolated it may use. Like the begonia, which appears soft and delicate but comes in a variety of vivid colors, this Yamagata sake is light and clean-tasting yet sharp. A pleasant dryness lingers with an impression of fresh mint, as though it were newly plucked from a garden.
