О нас
The most widely used sake yeast in Japan, accounting for the majority of all sake production. Isolated from Masumi brewery's prize-winning sake in 1946, K-7 is valued for its versatility, reliability, and ability to produce well-balanced sake across a wide range of styles. It creates moderate ginjo-like aromatics without overwhelming fruit or floral notes, making it the workhorse yeast for everything from futsushu to premium junmai.
