Misato Sekka Junmai Daiginjo – Lavender Yeast 720ml

＜An Elegant Junmai Daiginjo Inspired by Akita’s Lavender Fields＞

This Junmai Daiginjo is brewed using natural yeast collected from lavender grown in the beautiful natural surroundings of Misato, Akita Prefecture.

The brewing water comes from Hōmon Shimizu, one of the springs in the Rokugō Spring Water Group, which has been recognised as one of Japan’s 100 Remarkable Waters. Carefully selected sake rice and locally sourced natural yeast come together to create a sake with a truly distinctive character.

Just as the name “Misato Sekka” suggests, this sake has a pure, delicate quality reminiscent of freshly fallen snow. The refined aroma from the lavender yeast gently unfolds, followed by a light, smooth mouthfeel and an elegant, floral finish.

Best enjoyed chilled, it pairs beautifully with Japanese cuisine as well as Western dishes that let the natural flavours of the ingredients shine. A lovely addition to any dining table.

＜Our Staff’s Recommendation＞

An especially wonderful match for sashimi made with white fish! The sake brings out the fish’s natural sweetness, creating a beautifully balanced pairing.
