Kiminoi Yamahai Junmai Ginjo "Emperor's Well" (08/2024 bottling)
$32.00
No sales tax — Oregon
Kiminoi's yamahai is a product of its environment: snow melt flowing underground from the base of nearby Mt. Myoko, natural refrigeration from the 2 meters of snowfall Arai-juku sees annually, and a robust colony of lactic bacteria and house yeast living in the rafters and wooden equipment.
This 2024 bottling is showing strong! Medium bodied and leaning towards (but not quite) dry, with mature notes of candied apricot, banana pudding, savory herbs, and butter-fried mushroom stems. Best enjoyed at room temperature to hot- the notes that make this sake stand out are muted at cold temperatures.
We were able to pick up the last 9 bottles of 2024 from the distributor at a discount after tasting them, and falling in love. A case in point for gentle yamahai maturation and a lovely pickup for any yamahai fan.
