TAMA THE CAT JUNMAI GINJO Brewed with wine yeast
A challenging undertaking, Tama was developed as a modern sake that can hold its tail high on the global stage. The Toji experimented with wine yeast to bring out its bright acidity. Through sheer coincidence, he discovered that wine yeast is not as vigorous as sake yeast, resulting in a Genshu Sake (undiluted) at 12% Alc by volume.
Tasting Notes: This sake shows a distinctive aromatic profile of fresh pineapple, soft mushroom, and blanched peanuts. The palate is rich and textural, leaving impressions of toasted rice and crushed stones.
