Yamada Shoten "Everlasting Roots" Tokubetsu Junmai (900ml)

Yamada-san represents his tiny brewery located in Gifu on the Western coast of Japan. This truly artisan estate mills their own rice and also notably doesn't use temperature control for brewing. Truly old school. Everlasting Roots is made with the local hida-homare rice. The aromas are truly fantastic with notes of orange and cantaloupe. Wonderfully textural, but still fresh, with a clove-like spice on the finish. This can really stand up to fatty, more intense flavors.
