Giới thiệu
Known as the Kanazawa yeast, K-14 produces even more aromatic esters than K-9, making it a favorite for competition daiginjo. Its pronounced banana-like isoamyl acetate production creates immediately recognizable sake with intense, crowd-pleasing fruit character. Widely used in the Hokuriku region (Ishikawa, Toyama, Fukui) and increasingly popular nationwide for premium aromatic sake.
