Brewed with locally grown Yokawasan rice from Saga, this Tokubetsu Junmai showcases the brewery’s signature balance: gentle fruit aromatics, layered umami, and a beautifully crisp finish. It’s refined without being flashy — the kind of sake that wins you over sip by sip. Polished, versatile, and deeply satisfying, this is Nabeshima doing what it does best.

HOW TO ENJOY
PAIRING
This sake shines at the table. Pair it with sashimi, grilled white fish, yakitori (especially salt-grilled), simmered dishes, or light soy-based Japanese cuisine. Its clean structure and umami depth also work beautifully with roast chicken, mushroom dishes, or simple Western plates that let the sake breathe.
SERVING
Best enjoyed slightly chilled to bring out its elegant fruit notes, but it also performs wonderfully at cool room temperature when you want more umami and depth. A perfect “anytime” Junmai that adapts to the moment.
