Brewed to extract the very maximum umami from rice, this junmai-shu from Nakano’s ultra series measures +17.8 on the sake scale. While this places it at the super-dry end of the sake spectrum at face value, it carries an umami that blooms in the mouth, giving the sake a gentler flavour profile.

This is a junmai-shu that allows the drinker to enjoy both the true umami of rice, alongside a very clean finish.

Pairs well with lighter, more delicate flavours, e.g. sashimi, sushi, Bluff oysters, tempura, or panko crumbed fish or chicken. Or enjoy as a palate cleanser with fried foods like fish and chips.
