Yamamoto Midnight Blue (720ml) 山本ミッドナイトブルー

An aluring and gorgeous bouquet courtesy of the R-5 sake yeast. The Midnight Blue is a masterful Genshu with an end-point ABV of just 16%. The Akita R-5 yeast was developed through a collaborative effort by Akita brewers and Yamamoto was the first to showcase the yeast.

山本ピュアブラックの姉妹品。使用している「こまち酵母R-5」は、秋田県醸造試験場が華こまち酵母から選抜分離した新酵母で、香りも味も華やかで、軽快な酒質に仕上がります。フルーティーでキレの良いシャープな印象の「山本ピュアブラック」とは趣きを変え、上立ち香は爽やかでフローラルですが、酸味・味わいともおだやかで口当たりも柔らかくマイルドに仕上がっています。

Among the aspects which make Yamamoto sake extraordinary are the intrepid and unusual products such as the Yamamoto Wine, a sake made with a combination of sake and chardonnay yeasts and matured in oak barrels and the Yamamoto Royal Flush, a sake made with five separate sake rice varieties and five separate yeasts, culminating in brews which are out of the box and captivating. Above all, Yamamoto sake is wonderfully easy drinking and vibrantly fresh tasting.
