Yuki no Bosha Junmai Ginjo Sake - NV (300ml)

While not a Nama or unpasturized sake, this is one of the most natural versions of sake that can be made.  This is made from rice that has been polished to 55% and is produced with less air exposure than many sakes.   It is also a muroka, meaning it has not undergone any charcoal filtration and genshu meaning it has not been diluted, though it is a very balanced 16% alcohol. The toji seeks to express the aromas of the rice and koji mostly in the aftertaste of the sake.
