Summer delight

Summertime brings with it glorious sunshine, feelings of inner warmth, and this sensational seasonal sake! Gokyo “Junmai” Nama is the perfect summer brew, made with both Yamadanishiki and Nihonbare rice grown in Yamaguchi prefecture. These rice strains, together with Association No. 1801 and 9E yeast, deliver a balanced, enlivening acidity like that of lychee or fresh-squeezed lemonade. Serve cold on a summer day for ultimate satisfaction.

This was so perfectly acidic- not aggressively so, but enough to perk up the palate. I adored this with some roasted veggies - perfect combo!

I’m a fool for a delicious citrus zing and this delivered. It had enough body to stand up to grilled food. A summer standout for sure!

The bright citrus notes make this nama dangerous drinkable. It is perfect for summer sipping but I also loved it as part of a riff on a mojito - replacing the light rum with this sake. It holds up to the mint and lime and adds a new dimension.
