Masumi Nanago "Seventh Heaven"

Masumi/Miyasaka Brewery

Junmai Daiginjo

Masumi did it again. What did it do, you ask? They created a work of wonder. They paired the delicacy of a daiginjo with the rugged yamahai brewing method using its own strain of yeast, the Nanago (Yeast Number Seven). Most yamahai-style sake is deep and rich, maybe even a little loud and punchy, but Masumi Nanago is elegant and refined—crisp and bright, helping the drinker float to seventh heaven. So, oops, they did it again. And guess what? You'll be saying, hit me, baby, one more time. Yup, we went there.

ABOUT THIS BOTTLE

Masumi Nanago "Seventh Heaven"

Elegant aroma of ripe banana and peach, with rice elements that gives it a bit of complexity to the mix. Gentle sweetness and light umami spreads like the glow of a halo. Banana, Nilla wafers and molasses flavors, followed by a slight peppery timbre. Pleasant acidity and bitterness gives the palate a tight, strong structure.

HOW TO ENJOY

PAIRING

This sake is a work of miracle in its complex balance of sweetness, tartness, bitterness and umami; pair it with a special and complex dish that requires some work; something that can stand as equals with this special bottle: if going the sushi route, think seared snapper. Or try it with soy sauce steamed white fish, marinated broiled eggplant, veal sweetbread and anago fricassee, fried spring rolls, asparagus with sesame paste.

SERVING

Best served chilled.

about the brewery

MASUMI/MIYASAKA BREWERY

Masumi, a nationally admired sake brand, was founded in 1662 in Suwa, where a tradition of precise craftsmanship led the city to become the center of the silk industry. Still today, this attention to detail remains at the heart of the Masumi philosophy. In the 1920's, the brewery fell on hard times.The brewery's president, Masaru Miyasaka, appointed a young, 28-year-old sake prodigy named Chisato Kubota as toji. The two travelled up and down Japan, knocking on the door of the master and seeking knowledge.
