The story behind Asahiyama
Junmai is the plainest expression of sake: rice, water, koji and yeast, with no added brewing alcohol. That means a fuller, rounder body and more rice character in the glass, often with gentle nutty and earthy notes and a clean finish. Served chilled it is crisp and food friendly; warmed, the rice sweetness opens up.
We keep Asahiyama in the sake section here in Commack in small numbers, so what you see is what we have.
