Nøgne Ø’s only pasteurised product. Formerly known as Yamahai Muroka Junmai-Shu Sake. This Junmai was brewed using a Yamahai shubo, an older and more demanding method of yeast starter, which adds more complex flavours and depth to the Sake. The soft, pure local water provides a clean, clear expanse for bold acidity and umami along with a pleasing balanced aroma. It is Nama chozo which means it has been pasteurized only once just before bottling. This helps to retain typical Nama (un-pasteurized) freshness. Enjoy this Sake slightly chilled. It is very versatile and a great accompaniment to a broad range of cuisines; pairing well with Japanese, Asian fusion, and Western dishes to name a few. Rice type: 100% GINPU. Polishing ratio (seimaibuai) (精米歩合): 68%. Sake Meter Value (nihonshudo) (日本酒度): +8. Bottle size: 350 ml.
