Masumi Nanago Junmai Daiginjo Nakadori 40 720ml

Nanago (Number Seven) is brewed with local Kinmon Nishiki rice and Masumi No. 7 Yeast in the traditional yamahai style. It is a liquid reflection of the beauty of mountain.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of ripe bananas, yellow peaches, and hints of cereal. Aroma is a combination of elegance and complexity. Subdued sweetness and a clear, expanding umami. Firm acidity  and a tight bitterness form the sturdy bones of the sake, and a slight spiciness enlivens the tasting experience.

Pairing: Japanese whiting tempura, fried spring rolls, asparagus goma ae, bamboo shoots stewed Tosa style. The ripe banana and spiciness of Nanago make a good harmony with the aromatics of such dishes. The sake’s clear, expanding umami balances well with dashi.
