Sesshu Otokoyama Namazume Junmai is a single-pasteurized sake (namazume) produced using rice milled to 70% and a proprietary time-capsule aged koji unearthed in 2000 after 30 years. Most sakes unless indicated will be pasteurized twice prior to dispatch; once prior to tempering and once after bottling. Abstaining from pasteurization after bottling results in a more lively flavor profile.
The nose on this sake has sun-warmed golden apples with just a touch of heat. On the palate, lychee and green melon come through with a hint of yellow mango peel lingering through the finish. -Importer's Notes
