Kozaemon Sake Junmai Ginjo Sakura Nama 16,5% Vol. 0,72l
£32.17
Kozaemon Junmai Ginjo Sakura Nama is an exceptional, handcrafted premium sake from Japan that impresses with its freshness, depth and aromatic complexity. Produced in the Kozaemon brewery in Gifu, this sake combines the traditional art of brewing with modern standards. The term “Nama” stands for “raw” and means that the sake is only pasteurised once – which gives it a special vibrancy and freshness that you can feel every time you taste it.
With an alcohol content of 16.5% vol. and a carefully crafted Junmai Ginjo profile, Sakura Nama is both expressive and finely balanced. The brewing method places great emphasis on flavour purity, naturalness and freshness. Thanks to the limited pasteurisation process, the sake remains particularly aromatic and complex without losing its clarity and structure. The stylish 0.72 litre bottle underlines the high quality of this product.
Tasting NoteThe nose opens with a surprisingly citrus-fresh and fruity interplay of aromas, characterised by ripe strawberries, melon, banana and a finely sweet yeasty note reminiscent of Gugelhupf. On the palate, the sake is creamy, soft and complex, with floral notes of lilac, pineapple, subtle minerality and a spicy, herbaceous depth that ends with a cool, minty finish. The finish is long, smooth and creamy – a sake with an impressive flavour profile.
Kozaemon Sakura Nama is recommended at a drinking temperature between 5 and 15 °C and harmonises perfectly with grilled fish, vegetable lasagne and well-seasoned dishes with Asian or Mediterranean flavours. Also ideal as an accompaniment to exotic starters or as a modern aperitif. Once opened, this sake should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within a few days to preserve its full flavour – a high-quality moment of pleasure for connoisseurs and curious explorers.
