Description

The Prince Nagaya has a sake meter value (SMV) of -48. It is very sweet, luscious, with a strong umami flavour.

Intense and aromatic, the aromas evoke caramel, banana, papaya, mango, apricot, notes of honey and sesame, tobacco, subtle iodine hints of seaweed, and fermented miso aromas.

The palate is dominated by a very strong, very pronounced umami, with intense notes of sesame and peanut, and very finely iodised.

Its complexity and wide range of aromas are truly exceptional. The balance between sweetness and acidity is excellent, the alcohol is perfectly integrated. Furthermore, there are subtle notes of flavour and a velvety texture. The aroma is fresh and the taste is intense and enticing.

Producer: NAKAMOTO

Nakamoto Shuzo

Founded in 1727 at the foot of Mount Ikoma, between Nara and Osaka, Nakamoto Sake Brewery produces artisanal sakés designed to accompany meals in the manner of a wine. True to this philosophy, it crafts its sakés exclusively from rice, water, koji and yeast, with no added distilled alcohol or antioxidants.

Combining tradition and innovation, the brewery pays particular attention to the quality of its raw materials and employs modern technologies, including a water activator that promotes the activity of koji and yeasts. This approach helps to develop richer aromas and to enhance the flavour quality of its sakés.
