Kinmon’s Yamabuki Vintage is a rare aged sake from Akita, crafted by Kinmon Akita Sake Brewery, known for their deep expertise in matured sake.

This expression blends sake aged for 10 and 18 years, then finishes it in cherry blossom wood casks—a unique aging process that imparts subtle floral complexity and a mellow, whiskey‑like character.

Expect a layered bouquet of dried cherries, prunes, figs, and orange zest, wrapped in woody spice and a touch of umami.

Full-bodied and slightly oxidative in the best way, it shows sherry-like depth and silky warmth at 20% ABV.

Best enjoyed slightly warmed or on the rocks, this sake delivers a truly contemplative, luxurious experience.
