The nose on this seasonally released unpasteurized sake is a cool collection of sugarcane, grasses, plum, celery, and steamed rice aromas that smell very “Nama Nama.” Say hello to a cask strength and a fresh sake that comes from a brewery known for making traditional “old school” Junmai sake. This is like sticking your face in a fermenting tank of sake and tasting fresh and lively sake at its zesty and brash best. This is true Nama Genshu sake with a 18% ABV. Look for dried apple, nuts, lemon, almonds, Lemon Heads, Nectarine, almond, and steamed rice flavors that bounce around on the big and bold fluid. WORD: Big Fresh WINE: Zesty Reds/Massive Whites BEER: Stouts FOODS: Big, bold, and beefy fare. (2023)

The nose on this seasonally released unpasteurized sake is a clever collection of citrus, pineapple, apple, pear compote, banana, watermelon, and rice cracker aromas. This year’s Seven Spearsmen is a little leaner with more flavor and fun. Zesty, spritzy, yeasty, lively, and brisk say hello to living sake that is expansive and very vivid. Enjoy that fresh sake feeling and flavor in this generous Nama that is solid and giving. Look for young pear, apple and pineapple, citrus, raisin, white peach, Champagne grape, and mineral flavors with some gentle astringency (shibumi) on the finish. It’s a big but calm Nama that drinks great chilled and coming into room temperature. WORD: Lively WINE: Crisp Reds/Brisk Whites BEER: Crisp Ales FOODS: International Spice, street foods, beach tacos, grilled shrimp and fish. (2022)
