Fukuchiyo Shuzo Nabeshima Sake 2024 720ml

Tasting Notes

The Nabeshima ‘Gohyakumangoku’ is also nama-cho which means that unlike conventional pasteurised sake which is heat treated twice, this sake has been stored unpasteurised until bottling where it is then heat treated once. This is done to retain some of the fresh, lively palate of nama [unpasteurised] sake whilst gaining some roundness and depth during the ageing period after pasteurisation. A fragrant nose of melon and aniseed. The palate has a mellow texture with a spine of spice along the tongue. The finish has a refreshing acidic lift. - Importer Note
