Tasting Notes

Denshin Natsu Nama Junmai Daiginjo opens with a delicate lily-of-the-valley aroma, followed by a clear, polished palate. Notes of ripe pineapple emerge through the finish, balancing gentle sweetness with fresh acidity and a clean, lightly dry impression. Rich yet transparent, this seasonal unpasteurized sake is best served well chilled at 5–10°C. Pair it with prosciutto, sliced ham, smoked mackerel, smoked oysters, Gouda, or Camembert.

Overview

Brewed by Ippongi Kubohonten in Katsuyama, Fukui Prefecture, Denshin Natsu is the seasonal nama expression of the brewery’s Denshin Rin Junmai Daiginjo. It is made entirely with Koshinoshizuku, a rare sake rice from Fukui, polished to 45%. During fukurozuri, the moromi is placed in hanging bags and only the sake that drips naturally under gravity is collected, producing exceptional clarity and a clean, refined texture. Released for summer and shipped completely unpasteurized, this nama sake must remain refrigerated.
