Nabeshima Aiyama Daiginjo Junmai Sake (BTL 720ml)

Nabeshima has enjoyed cult status thanks to master brewer Naoki Iimori's commitment to make sakes that would be loved by its local people of Kashima City in Saga. Apparently it's not only the local people that ended up loving it!

While this sake exhibits quintessential daiginjo aromas of melon and strawberries, it makes it known it’s a Nabeshima with additional aromas of white grape and soda water. Let the spirit-like velvety weight of this daiginjo sink in, then notice a pleasant bitterness and acidity in the finish. The slam dunk match for this sake was the Andante Melange. The cheese made the chilled sake taste cleaner, and highlighted its minerality. This pairing culminates into a crescendo of flavors, which then rides together for a while.
