Yeast variety - Gunma Kaze. Not much aroma on this. Not sure if that’s typical to the yeast, the age of the bottle / transport, or me.

Very elegant balance but not super fruity, given it's daiginjo designation. — 2 years ago

Very pretty and on the delicate side. Packaging nails the tasting notes with cucumber, green tea, and melon rind, though I also get the banana that many tasters mention. From a small brewery, and a prefecture known for its pristine water sources. Pair with Kumamoto oysters or scallop sashimi. Environmentally sustainable, energy efficient brewery. Alcohol stands out to me at 15.5%. — 10 months ago
