Description
From the sake brewing village of "Yamajima"
to the main stream of the Tedori River. The rich underground water of the Tedori River, the clear, cold air from Mt. Hakusan, the bountiful rice harvest and the abundant labor force during the farming off-season have resulted in local sake. This is the philosophy that we at Yoshida Sake Brewery are particular about, and that all of our brewers and staff value in all their actions .

720mL bottle shared by the Farthest Star brewer on 5/19/23.
Clear, white.
Nose is chock full of bubble gum. Tons of it. Some light mineral and light acidity besides. Clean.
Very light, austere, don't get too much acidity or any overt lacto. Do get lots of bubble gum. Lighter bodied, some salinity and mild sweetness.
