Intended for the spring season, Kasumi Roman Junmai Ginjo Nama Genshu is a gentle cloudy white that mirrors the beautiful surroundings of its birthplace in the Nango region. This sake is made from a four stage brewing technique called yon dan shikomi in Japanese. The last addition to the tank uses glutinous or mochi rice which gives a richness to the sake and a sweetness on the palate that is tempered with a tingling sensation because of the Utsukushima Yume yeast used in the fermentation. The retained carbon dioxide in the sake gives the sake a vivacity and this is a great example of fresh nigori namazake packed full of expressive fruity flavours combined with some fresh mushroom and koji funkiness.
Because this is a lively unpasteurised sake it should be kept refrigerated during storage and after opening. Serve chilled.
