The nose on this seasonally released Summer Nama (Unpasteurized) is a slick collection of Pomelo, peach, orange, pear, green apple, guava, Biscotti, and shortbread aromas. Say hello to a first time brewery for us and a Nama Junmai Daiginjo to boot! Made with local Gifu brewing rice called Hidahomare milled to 50% and using a flower or "Hana" kobo (yeast) from the Abelia flower, this sake drinks very much like a elegant Junmai Daiginjo with a little extra refreshing juicy buoyancy for a very round and smooth mouthfeel. There is a really cool off-sweet umami play that glides with fleshy mango, honeydew, clove, lemonade, pear, puffed rice, white chocolate, vanilla milkshake, banana bread, and pound cake flavors that clean up for a nice mineral water whisper finish. WORD: Smooth WINE: Round Reds/Creamy Whites BEER: Soft Belgians FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, grilled fish with salt, yakitori with salt, carpaccio, vegetable tempura, Oden, tofu, steamed fish, and white chocolate.
