In addition to the Koda Farms Heirloom Organic Kokuho Rose KR55 variety rice they use, this sake uses Fukushima’s newer yeast called Utsukushima Kirameki Yeast, which was developed in 2003, and produces more strawberry and apple aromas. With a slightly fuller-bodied texture and a long finish, it adds more weight and presence to the table and can accompany foods from all over the world.
