Nama-no-zake is bottled directly from the pressed sake without heat treatment or filtration. The aroma is mild for a freshly pressed sake. The mouthfeel is hard but light. From there, the packed umami spreads powerfully, accented by soft acidity and Tamakae's characteristic astringency and hardness. The crispness after swallowing is outstanding, and you will naturally reach for the next sip. This is a bottle that is full of charm and is highly drinkable, attracting the hearts of sake lovers. It is also a perfect match for wintery dishes and can be enjoyed as a mealtime sake.3.5
