Kikuhime
With a single sip, the umami of the rice spreads heavily across the palate, followed by a sharp acidity characteristic of the Yamahai method that cleanses the finish. Kikuhime is a bold, full-bodied 'otokozake' (masculine sake) with a commanding presence. Brewed in Hakusan City, this sake is crafted using the subsoil water from the sacred Mount Hakusan and Yamada Nishiki rice from Special A-grade regions. Known as a pioneer of Yamahai brewing, it was the first in the industry to release a Junmai sake labeled specifically as 'Yamahai-shikomi' in 1983. It possesses a deep, dense richness, having been carefully aged for 1 to 2 years before shipment. When served warm (nurukan), the umami expands even further. It is a bottle you'll want to savor slowly alongside rich stews or heavily seasoned dishes. A robust flavor that resonates more deeply with every sip.
