The nose on this seasonally released unpasteurized “Late Spring” namazake is a tantalizing collection of melon, flint, powdered sugar, sourdough, mochi, cantaloupe, and banana bread aromas. Using a very interesting local Yamagata rice variety called Dewakirari milled to 55%, this raw and fresh sake is like living and drinking in Yamagata. Round, smooth, silky, fleshy with a medium body, this “Genshu,” which means no added water or “cask strength” (ABV 16%) drinks with a slight tingle and has a nice dry finish. Look for mochi rice, vanilla bean, cocoa nib, rice pudding, banana bread, wild strawberry, cranberry, and custard flavors that glide through the palate with a fizzy velvety grace. Red wine and savory sake lovers take note, and best served slightly chilled in a white wine glass. WORD: Ricey WINE: Round Reds/Soft Whites BEER: Creamy Belgians FOODS: Sushi, white fish sashimi, tempura, soba noodles, cheese plates, mushroom dishes, fried chicken, roast beef, and fondue. (2026)

The nose on this seasonally released unpasteurized and undiluted sake is a mild collection of sourdough, pretzel, salt water, butter, puffed rice, marshmallow, banana, and rice cracker aromas. Yay! Say hello to a different Spring Nama that isn’t a spicy fruit bomb, but rather a rich, round and savory brew that is super smooth and very tasty. Slick, fluffy, grainy, light, and balanced, this brew drinks gentle and easy in the glass with a crisp finish. Look for sourdough, nutty, butter, banana bread, salt water, rum raisin, biscuit, and steamed rice flavors on a smooth flow that gets more savory as it warms. A very fun Nama that isn’t like the others and speaks to more round and rich red wine drinkers. WORD: Savory WINE: Smooth Reds/Crisp whites BEER: Creamy Ales FOODS: Izakaya pub fare, salty and savory fare, and greasy comfort foods.
