Naraman “Junmai”
Fukushima prefecture
Robust flavors for robust people
This sake won gold three consecutive years at the U.S. National Sake Appraisal. Its subtle melon aroma leads to a perfect balance between sweet and dry. The robust flavors will have you pouring a second glass to taste its complexity. Serving it lukewarm brings out the nuance of the drink, and pairing with grilled fish or sashimi can add a fun layer to the flavor.
