This vibrant summer release opens with fresh, inviting aromas of green apple and delicate white peach. On the palate, it is light, clean, and juicy, with gentle sweetness balanced by bright, citrus-like acidity. The finish is crisp and refreshing, leaving the palate clean and ready for another sip. Designed to elegantly combat the summer heat, it is an exceptionally refreshing companion for chilled appetizers and fresh sashimi.

Overview

Brewed by the acclaimed Fukuchiyo Shuzo in Saga Prefecture, "Summer Moon" is Nabeshima’s highly anticipated seasonal Natsuzake (summer sake). Interestingly, it holds a unique distinction: it is the only sake in the entire Nabeshima lineup specifically classified as a "Ginjo." Crafted using premium Yamada Nishiki rice polished down to 50%, a rigorous standard typically reserved for Daiginjo, it incorporates a precise touch of brewer's alcohol. This traditional technique is masterfully utilized not to dilute, but to perfectly extract the vibrant fruit aromatics and achieve an ultra-clean, thirst-quenching dryness.
