Daisekkei “Karakuchi” Usunigori Nama

“Karakuchi” indicates a dry sake, “usunigori” means “slightly cloudy,” and “nama” means “unpasteurized.” So this sake is crisp, lively and a little hazy — perfect for the summer season! The sweet scent of banana and lychee lures you in, and an initial cleanness on the palate expands into a subtle umami. Enjoy it with succulent seafood, like a lobster roll or scallops sautéed in butter. P.S. — It’s fizzy, so please open slowly!
