Founded in 1673, Tamanohikari is a historic pioneer in the sake industry, famously leading the revival of the additive-free Junmai style in 1964. This \"Classic\" expression utilizes the labor-intensive Yamahai brewing method, a traditional technique that relies on natural lactic acid bacteria from the brewery's environment rather than added lactic acid. This process takes twice as long as modern methods, resulting in a sake with remarkable umami depth and a \"gamey\" complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpirit Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sake is clear with a rich, pillowy texture. The nose is distinctly savory and complex, offering aromas of shiitake mushroom, buckwheat noodles, and nougat, with subtle hints of cream cheese. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience with a well-balanced acidity and flavors of Brazil nuts, custard cream, and a slight earthy funk characteristic of the Yamahai style. It is crafted from premium Yamada-Nishiki rice polished to 60% and is fermented using the soft, famed groundwater of Kyoto's Momoyama Hills. It is typically bottled at 16% to 16.5% ABV with a Sake Meter Value (SMV) of +1 to +1.5, leaning towards a rich, semi-dry profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300273 - Blue Note Wine \u0026 Spirits Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48350095802580,"sku":"256008","price":48.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7645\/6404\/files\/156116-256008.jpg?v=1784802807","url":"https:\/\/borderlinebottles.ca\/products\/tamanohikari-yamahai-classic-junmai-ginjo-sake-720-ml","provider":"Borderline Bottles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
