Here's a bottle made through the co-fermentation of an all-star lineup of ancient yeasts, No. 1 through No. 6. It uses Miyamanishiki grown deep in the mountains of Nagano, in Tenjimbara, and stands as Sogga Père et Fils's finest sake. Because these are ancient yeasts, the aroma stays restrained, but it's finished into a sake you can sit with and savor for its refreshing acidity and its firm umami and sweetness.
