Product details
Naraman Junmai Nama Origarami Sake is a seasonal, unpasteurized sake crafted by the esteemed Yumegokoro Brewing Company in Fukushima Prefecture. Established in 1877, the brewery emphasizes local ingredients, utilizing Gohyakumangoku rice sourced from nearby farmers and pure underground water from Mt. Tsugamine, recognized among Japan's top 100 water sources. The term "Origarami" refers to a lightly cloudy sake containing fine lees, resulting from minimal filtration, which imparts a gentle turbidity and enhances umami flavors. Being a "Nama" sake, it remains unpasteurized, preserving its fresh and dynamic character. This sake exhibits a subtle effervescence due to residual fermentation, offering a lively and refreshing experience.
With an alcohol content of 16% and a rice polishing ratio of 55%, Naraman Junmai Nama Origarami presents a harmonious balance of flavors. Tasting notes reveal a juicy rice flavor complemented by a refreshing acidity, making it an ideal accompaniment to various Japanese dishes. Recommended serving temperatures range from 5°C to 10°C, enhancing its crisp and vibrant profile. The sake's nuanced complexity pairs well with rich, oily foods like steak or Japanese curry, while its delicate acidity also complements seafood and vegetable dishes. As a seasonal release, Naraman Junmai Nama Origarami offers a unique tasting experience that reflects the dedication and craftsmanship of Yumegokoro Brewing Company.
