PAIRINGCOMING SOON
An unintentional sake that became the spark for "Ubusuna," the new brand born from a brewer captivated by the depths of nature. Malolactic fermentation — a technique used in winemaking — evolved it into a one-of-a-kind flavour. The aroma is like white wine, and one sip brings a harmony of acidity — lemon, apple, yoghurt — that overwhelms and moves the drinker.
