KURA 'CELLAR' AGED JUNMAI SAKE 375ml (2022 BARREL YAMAHAI)
The latest vintage of KURA - this time around we’ve crafted something really unique, using the Yamahai method for the yeast starter and ambient aging for 2 years. A rich, complex barrel aged Yamahai sake; with notes of caramel, chocolate & vanilla.
KURA meaning“CELLAR/BREWERY” is our premium aged sake series. This 2022 vintage release is made using the historical Yamahai method of starting the fermentation, resulting in complex acidity and a gamier profile. After fermentation, the sake has been matured in a combination of burgundy wine barrel, vessel and bottle at ambient temperature for 2 years, rounding it out and creating a unique flavour experience - soft and supple, yet rich and complex.
Dessert style - enjoy at room temperature with cheese, pastry or ice cream.
