The Kobo #7 is made from Yamada Nishiki rice grown organically by the brewery themselves (as is a majority of their sake). Kobo means Yeast in Japanese and the #7 represents Yeast strain number 7. This Yamahai (traditional yeast starter) sake is polished to 70% and shows a rich, complex and vibrant character – as with all of Akishikas products. Fresh on the palate, this Nama (unpasteurised) version of Kobo #7 has a rich fruit character and a savoury depth. The palate builds with wonderful texture, a fine acidic backbone and a long fine finish.
