A Rich, Yamahai Brewed Junmai Daiginjo
Kubota Hekiju is brewed using the traditional yamahai method, developing a deeper, more robust character than standard sake yeast starters. From Asahi Shuzo in Niigata, it carries nutmeg and pear on the nose with subtle flavors of ripe pear and grape through the mouth.

Restaurant and Bar Applications
Its bolder, richer profile stands up well to heartier dishes like roast beef and tempura, while still working comfortably alongside sushi, making it a versatile pour for a broader menu.

Serving and Storage
Best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature. Store away from direct light and heat before opening.
