About
A staple of the Nabeshima series, which took first place in Japan in the junmai category at the 2002 International Sake Festival. Brewed slowly through low-temperature fermentation, this Tokubetsu Junmai is a dry sake with an elegant aroma and an exceptionally clean finish. On the palate, it offers a clear, light umami that spreads across the tongue, balanced by refreshing acidity. Production is limited, but it is a sake well worth trying at least once.
