The Yamahai Junmai Ginjo is pale straw with striking yellow hues. A fresh, intriguing nose of farm yogurt and delicate pear blossom. The palate is richly textured, striking a seamless harmony between subtle sweetness and deep, savory umami. Earthy button mushroom accents linger alongside delicate floral notes through a delicious and long finish.
