Description

Discover the bold and vibrant flavors of Narutotai’s nama genshu sake, crafted with meticulous care in Tokushima, Japan. This exceptional brew combines the freshness of raw, unpasteurized rice wine with the intensity of undiluted genshu style for an experience that’s both invigorating and complex. At 18.5% alcohol by volume—higher than most sakes due to its no-water-added process—this premium offering delivers a rich, full-bodied sip that stands out among traditional options.

The first pour reveals a burst of vibrant fruit notes, reminiscent of sun-ripened berries and tropical citrus, while its velvety texture balances boldness with smoothness on the palate. Unlike many sakes that prioritize subtlety, this bold expression pairs effortlessly with bold dishes like spicy sushi rolls or grilled meats, offering a lip-smacking finish that lingers long after each toast. Its youthful energy mirrors a lively Bourgueil Cabernet Franc in aroma and a crisp Touraine Sauvignon Blanc in its refreshing aftertaste, making it an ideal choice for adventurous drinkers seeking something beyond conventional wine or sake options.

Crafted from premium rice polished to 58%, this sake retains natural sugars and depth without sacrificing elegance—a signature of Tokushima’s artisanal brewing tradition. Perfect for special occasions or casual gatherings, its unfiltered nature preserves pure flavors but requires refrigeration to maintain its lively character. Whether enjoyed chilled as an aperitif or paired with robust cuisine, it offers a unique balance of fruit-forward zest and dry sophistication that distinguishes it from mass-produced alternatives.

For those exploring high-end genshu sakes or seeking nama varieties known for their freshness, Narutotai’s Tokushima-brewed creation is a standout selection. Its bold profile caters to fans of full-bodied wines while staying true to Japanese craftsmanship—making it a versatile addition to any liquor collection.
