Daisekkei “Karakuchi” Usunigori Nama
Nagano prefecture
Fizzy summer fun
“Karakuchi” indicates a dry sake, “usunigori” means “slightly cloudy,” and “nama” means “unpasteurized.” So this sake is crisp, lively and a little hazy — perfect for the summer season! The sweet scent of banana and lychee lures you in, and an initial cleanness on the palate expands into a subtle umami. Enjoy it with succulent seafood, like a lobster roll or scallops sautéed in butter. P.S. — It’s fizzy, so please open slowly!

Daisekkei Brewing Company
First formed as a joint company between two breweries in 1898 and renamed in 1953, the traditions of the brewery have been passed down to today, and are very focused on doing a little more every year. From doing research in hopes of developing ever better products, to putting in the effort to collect, clean, and reuse bottles to reduce their environmental impact, Daisekkei Brewing Company always strives to improve. Their sake is a nod to past generations and has the feeling of sake like their fathers and grandfathers used to drink.
