It was Kagi Kinichiro that invented the yamahai brewing method at the end of the Meiji period. And he test-brewed sake using the method at Suehiro Shuzo Kaeigura at the beginning of the Taisho period. The Kagi-style yamahai brewing method has been passed down for generations. This is a yamahai junmai-shu with an amazing mixture of acidity and sweetness.

A bowl-shaped sake cup is recommended to bring out the sake's umami and sweetness. Earthenware and porcelain cups match well, too.
This is a junmai-shu that stikes a great balance between sweetness and acidity.
It goes well with almost anything, but especially well with umami-filled dishes.
