Manju Original Yeast X
A rare, limited release, Kubota Manju Original Yeast X is shaped by decisions most brewers never make. By sourcing locally grown Gohyakumangoku rice and polishing each grain using the proprietary Genkei Seimai method, Kubota ensures quality from field to brew. Fermentation with an in-house yeast cultivated over many years reveals an aroma that's unmistakably expressive. Silky, layered, and complex, this is sake for anyone who appreciates well-crafted nuance.

In the glass
Kubota Manju Original Yeast X builds on the balance of Manju with added dimension. Yellow peach and apricot come first, with a subtle creaminess underneath. Smooth and layered on the palate, each sip reveals a rich umami and crispness that blend naturally. The clean, dry finish is gracefully slow, which at this level, feels exactly right.
