Naozane Tokubetsu Junmai Shiboritate

Naozane Tokubetsu Junmai Shiboritate is a freshly pressed, special designation pure-rice sake from Gonda Shuzo in Kumagai City, Saitama, released without the extended resting period typical of finished sake to capture the vivid, exuberant character of newly pressed moromi. The tokubetsu junmai classification indicates a polishing ratio or technique beyond the standard junmai requirement, while shiboritate conveys the freshness of immediate bottling after pressing. Brewed with local Sakemusashi rice and Kumagai's clean water, this seasonal release from the Naozane brewery is bold, fruity, and full of youthful energy.
