Harushika Summer Junmai Ginjo Nama Genshu "Spring Deer"

The nose on this seasonally released unpasteurized "Nama" and undiluted "Genshu" Summer sake is a vast collection of  grape, honeydew, rock sugar, lime, grapefruit, green mango, guava, and Japanese milk candy aromas. Yes, you are well-versed in this popular brewery featuring the deer of Nara, and we greatly enjoy their limited releases. Fleshy, full-bodied, smooth, bright, crisp, and yet water-like, this sake works best in a white wine glass. Look for Asian pear, lime, green grape, apple, mangosteen, lemonade, caraway seed, buttermilk, whole grain bread, daikon, and sweet rice flavors that glide through the palate. Fan favorite summer nama sake!
