Clean, elegant, and beautifully composed — this sake builds to a fresh, vibrant burst right at the mid-palate that feels alive and invigorating.
The overall impression is bright and grape-like, reminiscent of crisp Muscat. Aromas of pear and lychee add a sweet, inviting depth, while a firm acidity pulls everything together into a clean, refreshing finish.
Perfect as an aperitif, but equally at home alongside food. If you're pairing it with a meal, try it with pizza or pâté de campagne — the contrast is wonderful. Serve well chilled straight from the refrigerator.

Naeba Brewery Company
Niigata
Naeba Brewery was founded in 1907 in Tsunan, Niigata Prefecture, and has been a beloved local sake producer for over a century. Tsunan is one of Japan’s snowiest regions, where the brewery is often buried under snow in winter. This harsh yet rich natural environment provides pristine water sources, including the famous "Ryugakubo" spring and the pure snowmelt from Mount Naeba. Using Niigata’s finest sake rice, Gohyakumangoku, and the expertise of Echigo toji (master brewers), Naeba Sake Brewery continues to craft sake that highlights the rich umami of rice—smooth, balanced, and endlessly enjoyable.
