Sake Yeast #9 - WLP 709

Making your own sake is always an exciting experience that is in many ways similar to beer making but has many nuances that make it a truly unique production. And it’s only natural that such a sophisticated and special drink requires a special kind of yeast, like the WLP709 Sake #9 Yeast produced by White Labs.

This particular strain of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae was selected for its ability to carry out rice-based fermentations that are the very core of sake production, specifically destined for making the aromatic and flavourful Ginjo-shu sake variety.
