Narutotai “Silky Wave” Nigori Nama

The sake lees in this silky “nama” (unpasteurized sake) provide a delectable flavor of rice, with a touch of yogurt-like sweetness. Its citrusy acidity and slight effervescence comes from its lack of pasteurization, which cuts the lactic flavor for a crisp aftertaste. Taken with its aroma of apple and pear, “Silky Wave” is both light enough and creamy enough to pair wonderfully with dishes like white fish meunière and Margherita pizza.
