KINRYO Wine Yeast

Kinryo's sake originated in 1789 during the Kansei era near the Konpira Shrine, which was the focal point of mountain worship and beliefs in the deity who was the guardian of maritime transport and protector from the dangers of the sea. This sake is enjoyed by many visitors to this pilgrimage site, a centre of devotion and a pictorial witness to the Edo period. First awarded the Grand Gold Medal for the best Japanese sake in 1996, Kinryo has since been a regular in this prestigious selection.

Kinryo Wine Yeast is a sake made from wine yeast. It has a fruity aroma similar to white wine with flavours of apple, cherry etc. This very aromatic and floral sake also reveals notes of apricot, white flower and pear, also retaining a nice acidity due to the use of wine yeast.

This is a sake to be drunk chilled, it is perfect as an aperitif and goes perfectly with vegetables and vegetable dishes.
