YK3 Sake Junmai NV

British Columbia, CanadaYK3 is a Richmond-based sake company, so named because the Toji (brewmaster) and two founders all share these two initials. The rice is high quality Calrose, imported from Sacremeto, California, where most of the North American sake rices are sourced from. This pure Junmai is polished to at least 70%, and only rice, water, yeast, and koji are used. This Junmai is a medium+ sake, very creamy with ripe melon, honeysuckle, almond paste and almond blossom on the lengthy, cool vanillin finish.Tasted: 13 October 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
