概要
Yamagata's flagship yeast creates a distinctive red-fruit character that sets the prefecture's sake apart from other regions. The KA yeast's cherry and strawberry notes complement Yamagata's signature Dewa Sansan rice beautifully, creating a regional style that has won numerous national awards. Yamagata was one of the first prefectures to strategically develop a unified regional brand identity through yeast, rice, and water coordination.
