Aramasa No.6 S-Type Junmai Ginjo is one of the most sought-after expressions from the iconic No.6 series crafted by the historic Aramasa Shuzo in Akita, Japan. The series is famous for using the legendary Kyokai No.6 yeast, originally discovered at the brewery in 1930 and still defining the signature style of Aramasa sake today.
The S-Type (“Superior”) represents the refined middle tier of the No.6 lineup, offering greater elegance and depth compared to the vibrant R-Type while maintaining exceptional balance and drinkability.
Brewed using the traditional Kimoto fermentation method, this Junmai Ginjo expresses vibrant fruit aromatics, delicate acidity, and a silky mouthfeel with light natural effervescence. The result is a sake that feels both modern and deeply rooted in traditional craftsmanship.
