The nose on this seasonally released Late Spring Nama (unpasteurized) sake is a wonderful collection of apple, Muscat, grapefruit, white peach, powdered sugar, guava, celery, melon, and grassy aromas. Say hello to Spring in Nagano with a sake that uses local Miyamanishiki brewing rice milled to 55% and has two yeasts (#1001 and #1801) to make a lively and umami driven brew. Bright, spritzy, smooth, refreshing and with a moderate acidity, this brew has impact in all the right places. Look for grapefruit, mochi, snap peas, spring water, pineapple rings, and an old school long tail that hints at white pepper and umami. It is best chilled in a white wine glass, and for more umami, let it come to room temperature. WORD: Refreshing WINE: Soft Reds/Fat whites BEER: Big Ales FOODS: White fish sashimi, wild vegetable tempura, seafood carpaccio, seafood salad, salmon terrine, shrimp cocktail. (2026)
The nose on this seasonally released unpasteurized sake is a lively “Nama” nose filled with cranberry, strawberry, green grasses, green apple, sweet rice, kiwi, and lime aromas. This is a two-fer Nama that is bright and zesty upfront then morphs into a creamy and round brew in the glass and that is pretty damn cool! Light, clean, crisp, soft, and tingly with a touch of shibumi (astringency) the flow is fresh and fun. Look for mango, cream, powder sugar, Key lime pie, peach syrup, cocoa, cereal milk, and sweet rice flavors that drink softer as the fluid warms in the glass. A very interesting Spring Nama that drinks to the season. WORD: Round WINE: Soft Reds/Creamy Whites BEER: Creamy Ales FOODS: Pub fare, grilled, salty and savory cuisine. (2023)
