尾瀬の雪どけ 純米大吟釀 夏吟

【Oze no Yukidoke Junmai Daiginjo Natsu-gin】

From Ryujin Shuzo in Tatebayashi, Gunma – a sake house with roots back to the Edo period and known for its aromatic, fruit‑forward style – this “Natsu-gin” is a summer‑only Junmai Daiginjo brewed especially for the warmer months. Using in‑house polished Japanese rice milled to 50% and carefully managed at low temperature, then bottled as namazume, it delivers a clean, crisp profile with a cool, refreshing edge that feels perfect for easy summer drinking.

The aroma is fresh and bright, showing notes of green apple and pear, with subtle floral hints and gentle rice tones, expanding softly without any sharpness. On the palate, it is smooth and silky, with tender rice‑derived sweetness wrapped in well‑judged acidity, giving a pure, clean and slightly juicy impression. The finish is neat and snappy, with a touch of elegant sweetness that lingers just enough to make you want another glass – a summer sake made for relaxed, carefree sipping.

Serving temperature
Best served well‑chilled at around 6–10°C to highlight its freshness and fruitiness, while keeping the acidity and finish tight and refreshing.

Food pairing
Pairs well with salads, chilled appetisers, sashimi, steamed or salt‑grilled white fish, and light Japanese small plates. It also works beautifully as the first drink at a summer BBQ or gathering, offering a gentle, fruit‑driven and clean alternative to beer that cools you down without feeling heavy.
