Chikumannishiki Namachozoshu Sake ⋅ 13% ⋅ 300ml

• Fresh, light flavor with low alcohol content.
• Pasteurized only once, at bottling
• Pairs equally well with Japanese dishes and Western cuisine

A fresh, low-alcohol sake made in the mountain range of Mount Asama, in Nagano Prefecture, using mountain water and sake rice, including Chikuma Nishiki rice, which also comes from the prefecture. 

The brewery, located at an altitude of 700 meters, experiences very cold winters, with temperatures that can reach -10°C. This makes it possible to cool the cooked rice to the brewing temperature and naturally control bacteria, resulting in slow fermentation. 

This sake is a namachozoshu. After pressing, it is stored unpasteurized in a cool place, then pasteurized only once at bottling, whereas most sake is heated twice. It therefore retains some of the freshness of unpasteurized nama sake while being easier to store. Keep it refrigerated and consume it soon after opening.

Its fresh taste makes it an ideal choice to accompany a wide variety of Japanese dishes, from beef tataki to simmered dishes such as nabe, as well as Western dishes such as risotto.

Excessive alcohol consumption is dangerous to your health; drink responsibly. The purchase of alcohol is restricted to adults, in accordance with the laws in force in your country.
