What you can expect:
Nanja Monja is made with locally grown organic Koshi-Hikari rice which is a table rice variety. Polished to only 80% and made with the traditional Kimoto method using wild yeast, this Sake is made to represent what Sake tasted like over a hundred years ago - think ‘liquid rice’ in a bottle!
A very rice dominated aroma, the palate shows very bright acidity with a strong savoury edge. The finish is long, dry and powerful. Please try it at room temperature, then try it as a hot sake to enjoy the deep and profound umami.

Bottle at Ante, Newtown. Clear pale gold colour, no head and aroma of rice, savoury note. Taste is rice, dried meats, unami, salt with some booze. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonaton, drying meaty salty finish. Nicely drinkable.
