Fresh and complex flavours, packed into a surprising dry and smooth sake.Going through both stages of pasteurisation at once before it is thoroughly sealed in storage, this Namachozo sake is able to develop a bold and full-bodied flavour that is smooth and easy to savour. Releasing the kind of fresh and fruity aromas only brewers would experience when first bottling their sake, this pull-tab bottle unveils a refined palate of crisp and clean notes that have been able to develop with the sake brewed at only 5°C (41°F) for a whole month. This mellows out the sharpness of this junmai sake, yet allows it to release the unique flavour of slowly activated-enzymes and Hakutsuru self-developed yeast that add a layered taste to the moderate burn this alcohol produces. Finishing neatly on a light and refreshing note, this sake pairs wonderfully with light meals with its evolving essence and is best enjoyed chilled to grasp its fine aftertaste.
