Maricho Namachozoshu

Maricho Namachozoshu is a once-pasteurized sake from Miyagi prefecture, bottled after a single heat treatment at the time of bottling rather than the standard two-step process. This namachozoshu approach preserves a fresh, lively quality while offering greater stability than fully raw namazake, making the sake suitable for wider distribution. Miyagi's cold seasonal temperatures and clean regional water create an ideal foundation for this style, which is valued for its crisp aromas and light body.
