Product details
Maruishi Nito Satin Junmai Sake embodies the philosophy of balance and harmony, inspired by the proverb, “Only those who run after two hares will catch them both.” Crafted to extend Maruishi Brewery’s offerings beyond its Aichi roots, Nito debuted in December 2015 as a sake that seamlessly marries seemingly opposing qualities. Its duality shines through in every sip: the interplay of taste and aroma, tartness and umami, sweetness and dryness, and complexity and cleanness. This sake’s hallmark features include a remarkable freshness, a refined balance, and a lingering, satisfying finish. Nito offers a journey through its nuanced "story," unfolding with smooth transitions from introduction to conclusion and leaving an irresistible desire for more.
On the palate, Nito Satin Junmai presents a light yet pure fruit-forward flavor profile with vibrant acidity and a natural, boundless appeal. Its bright, refreshing character makes it equally delightful as a standalone experience or paired with food. The sake evolves beautifully with time, temperature, and air, revealing new layers with each sip. Perfect pairings include delicate dishes like tempura served with a side of salt, citrus-forward salads such as grapefruit salad, or juicy fruits like melon, which complement its fruity brightness and crisp acidity. Whether enjoyed on its own or alongside thoughtfully selected dishes, Nito invites you to savor its brilliance from the first pour to the last.
