Yamatan Masamune Minamoto – Mizumoto Junmai

Description

Mizumoto Junmai

Crafted using the ancient Mizumoto brewing method dating back to the Muromachi period, this distinctive Junmai showcases both tradition and elegance. Delicate aromas of white peach, ripe melon and fresh cream lead to a beautifully balanced palate, where gentle sweetness is lifted by vibrant acidity and a subtle layer of umami. The texture is silky and rounded, finishing clean with refreshing precision.
