Product details
Denshin Natsu Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake is a rare and limited-edition summer release, crafted exclusively from the scarce sake rice variety Koshinoshizuku. This unpasteurized (nama) sake is a masterpiece of precision and tradition, produced using the fukurozuri method—an artisanal gravity-drip process where the sake is delicately extracted from mash-filled cloth bags, preserving its purest essence. This meticulous technique results in a clean, transparent mouthfeel that sets Denshin Natsu apart as a refined choice for summer indulgence.
The experience begins with a delicate aroma reminiscent of lily of the valley, leading to a smooth and refreshing profile with a lingering sweetness of pineapple—perfect for balmy summer nights. Its versatility shines with food pairings, complementing pork dishes, sliced roast ham, or prosciutto. Additionally, the rounded umami of cheeses like Gouda or Camembert harmonizes beautifully with this sake’s complexity. As an unpasteurized brew, it must be refrigerated at all times to preserve its freshness and prevent the flavors from maturing too quickly. For connoisseurs seeking a crisp and elegant sake to elevate their summer evenings, Denshin Natsu is an exceptional choice.
