Nabeshima Junmai Daiginjo Yamadabo (720ml) 鍋島 純米大吟醸 山田穂

Fukuchio Shuzo is unrivaled when it comes to the amount of effort that they put into researching and experimenting with a very wide range of sake rice. Always exploring different strains new and ancient, for this sake they have used Yamadaho, the mother of Yamadanishiki. The Yamadaho is a very rare sake rice today and takes expert brewers and refined techniques to work with. In this case it has resulted in a sake which is ever so soft and gentle.

山田錦の母とも言われる希少な酒米、山田穂を醸した純米大吟醸。鍋島の熟練の職人の技で精巧に作られる逸酒です。口当たりが非常に柔らかく、ほどよく旨味がふくらみ、まろやかな味わいが特徴の日本酒です。

山田穂 (YamadaHo) the maternal parent of the widely celebrated 山田錦 (Yamadanishiki) yields a lush yet restrained mouthfeel, never overly-imposing or overpowering when paired with masterfully prepared Kaiseki meal.

The Nabeshima label design is classic and easily recognizable with the prominent characters in bold calligraphy. The sake is known for its bright character, elegant and refined, yet powerful and impactful. Flavour profiles are unique and range from fruity to umami rich and dry. All sakes are Muroka, not passing through charcoal filtration which also helps to maintain a fresh and lively quality. The brand is the winner of many awards over the last two decades including many awards at the IWC since 2011.
