À propos
Developed to complement Akita's premium rice varieties and soft water, the Komachi Yeast produces sake with elegant fruit character and a clean, mineral-driven finish. Akita is one of Japan's top sake-producing prefectures, and this yeast helps define the regional style — aromatic but restrained, crisp but full-flavored. Named after Ono no Komachi, the legendary beautiful poetess from Akita.
