The nose on this beautifully packaged fan-favorite seasonally released Spring unpasteurized nama is a fun collection of grapefruit, strawberry, pear, blueberry, mineral, and floral aromas. Yay! It’s nama season and this lively beast is like dipping your ladle into the sake tank as it ferments. A very brash, living, raw sake that is zesty, expressive, full-bodied and fruity. Look for melon, young pear, crisp apple, peach, nectarine, strawberry, blackberry, young mango, and citrus flavors with a touch of electric umami. If you like your sake to tell a story, this story is bright and very fresh sake that has a sit-up and takes notice of the brashness that crisp sake drinkers love.
Pair with: grilled meats. For sashimi,it goes well with blue backed fish such as mackerel, horse mackerel, or pike.
