ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
MIYASAKA YAWARAKA JUNMAI
Yawaraka means soft, in a cuddly, fluffy way, and that is exactly what this is. Smooth and gentle and low in alcohol, Yawaraka represents a new direction for Japanese sake brewers. It has an aroma of rice, caramel, butterscotch and cream. It has flavors of honeydew, Asian pear, young peach and plum, with hints of citrus tones—in short, subtle, but loaded. The toji has said that because of the low alcohol and SMV level, they had to be especially careful when balancing the acidity.

Masumi, a nationally admired sake brand, was founded in 1662 in Suwa, where a tradition of precise craftsmanship led the city to become the center of the silk industry. Still today, this attention to detail remains at the heart of the Masumi philosophy. In the 1920's, the brewery fell on hard times.The brewery's president, Masaru Miyasaka, appointed a young, 28-year-old sake prodigy named Chisato Kubota as toji. The two travelled up and down Japan, knocking on the door of the master and seeking knowledge. Click to learn more.
