TokushimaTasting Notes:
Housui means "fragrant water"
Very yellow in color due to the Yamahai process. Yamahai is a style that ferments at a colder temperature to make the yeast struggle more. Sweet earthy nose. Bright and crisp with subtle sweetness and earth. Ends with a textured earthy toasty finish.
