Nagurayama - Aizu Shikon Crane Castle Sake 720ml

Nagurayama Aizu Shikon Sake embodies the noble spirit of the Aizu region in Fukushima. Crafted by the Nagurayama Brewing Company, this premium Tokubetsu Junmai pays homage to the samurai who once defended Crane Castle. It offers a taste of history mixed with modern precision. The brewers use local Yume no Kaori rice and polish it down to 55 percent. This careful preparation creates a base that is pure and focused.

This sake is bottled as Genshu and Muroka. This means the liquid remains undiluted and undergoes minimal filtration. These choices preserve the true character of the brew. On the palate, you will find a gorgeous texture that feels bracingly fresh. It is clean and finely etched. The flavor profile balances a delicate sweetness with a smooth finish, supported by a gentle acidity.

The use of Kirameki yeast enhances the aromatics, resulting in a sake that is robust yet refined. It reflects the natural abundance of the surrounding mountains and streams of the Tohoku region. This is a sake that stands steadfast. It is best enjoyed cold to appreciate its crisp layers. It captures the essence of the rice and the skill of the brewery in every glass.
