About
Sake from Nada is said to lose the harsh edges of new sake after a summer of aging. The aroma and flavor settle, the taste becomes rounder, and the overall quality improves. This maturing is called "akiagari" or "akibare." The sake that best draws out the potential of this "akibare" style is hiyaoroshi (autumn-released sake), in its namazume (pasteurized-once) form. Brewed using the traditional kimoto (yeast-starter) method, this is an authentic dry sake. Savor this honjozo, whose umami is crisp, in its namazume form at the peak of the season.
