Ohyama makes a very well-structured sake, fully showcasing the distinctive yeast indigenous to Yamagata prefecture. Clean scents of apple and pear, complemented by subtle mineral and creamy notes. The palate is greeted with a medium texture that balances mild sweetness with fruity acidity, leading to a slightly dry, crisp, and smooth finish. Whether served chilled or warm, Ohyama Tokubetsu Junmai invites both sake aficionados and newcomers to experience its refined character. Polishing ratio (seimaibuai) (精米歩合): 60%. Sake Meter Value (nihonshudo) (日本酒度): +4.5. Acidity: 1.5. Bottle size: 300ml, 720 ml.
