The sake has a glossy aroma and a rich umami flavor from the rice, making it a gentle and smooth Japanese sake.
Zaku Naguwashi Junmai Daiginjo Tojo Yamada Nishiki is the pinnacle of the "Zaku" series, crafted by the local sake brewery Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten, located in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture. This sake is renowned for its clean and refined taste, free from any overpowering flavors.
This special sake is made using Yamada Nishiki rice from the Tojo district, a region famous for its premium sake rice. The term "Naguwashi" is derived from the now-obsolete word "名細し," which signifies the beauty of a name. The series uses yeast with a gentle aroma, making it enjoyable not only immediately but also suitable for long-term storage, as each bottle is marked with its vintage year, allowing for year-to-year comparisons. The Tojo district is recognized as a special A-grade area for Yamada Nishiki, the king of sake rice. The sake features sweet aromas reminiscent of banana and melon, with a gentle and smooth flavor profile. It is best enjoyed slightly chilled in a large wine glass to fully appreciate its aromatic and sweet nuances.
Additionally, it pairs excellently with seafood when served well-chilled. It is particularly recommended with sea urchin, abalone, or sea squirt prepared in vinegar, as these dishes complement the sake's oceanic notes perfectly. This sake makes an exceptional gift for special occasions or anniversaries. Be sure to try Zaku Naguwashi!
