Tasting Notes: “Nama Genshu” means sake which is unpasteurized and undiluted. Sake is almost always pasteurized twice and water is added to adjust aroma and flavor, to lower alcohol content before bottling, but this sake does not go through those processes. Its aromatics are like freshly cooked rice, its flavor is lively fresh and rich bodied. Enjoy deep flavor with a handy can whenever and wherever you want.
