Chotokusen KarakuchiJunmai Yamatsuru

Chotokusen Karakuchi Junmai Yamatsuru is a dry pure rice sake from Nakamotoshuzouten in Nara Prefecture, with chotokusen indicating a super-premium selection and karakuchi designating a pronounced dry character. Nara is one of Japan's oldest brewing regions, and Nakamotoshuzouten's Yamatsuru label draws on this heritage to produce sake that balances dryness with the savory depth characteristic of the region's junmai style. The sake achieves its dry profile through thorough fermentation that converts most residual sugars into alcohol.
