KUBOTA "MANJYU" ORIGINAL YEAST YX EDITION

Food Pairings: Grilled pork, seabream wrapped in konbu (kelp).

Tasting Notes: This edition of Kubota Manju is characterized by three key factors: the sake rice, the rice polishing method, and the original "YX" yeast. The “Gohyakumangoku” rice used in this sake comes from the local Koshiji Region of Nagaoka City in Niigata Prefecture, with the brewery involved in the cultivation process of the rice as well. The sake rice is then polished in house down to a ratio of 40% using the  original shape (genkei) polishing method. Finally, the sake is brewed with "YX" yeast, an original brewery-developed yeast cultivated over many years. This results in a dynamic, multi-layered, and elegant nose with a deep, mellow flavor. As expected of a Niigata sake, the finish is clean and crisp. This limited edition of Kubota Manjyu is a beautiful addition when celebrating various milestone birthdays, weddings and other significant events in your life.
