Yamamoto Pure Black is the signature Junmai Ginjo of Yamamoto Brewery in Akita. First created in 2005 as a new label personally led by Yamamoto-san, it has since grown to become one of the brewery’s most important and recognisable sake.
 
Made with Akita-grown Akita Sake Komachi, the rice is polished to 50% for the koji rice and 55% for the kake rice. The aroma is deliberately restrained and elegant, allowing the sake’s bright, juicy character to take centre stage.
 
Fresh citrus and green apple notes lead into a clean, lightly textured palate with lively acidity. The finish is dry, sharp and remarkably crisp, giving Pure Black a refreshing balance that makes it particularly enjoyable with food.

A modern Akita Junmai Ginjo that combines freshness, precision and a beautifully clean finish.
