Tsuchida Kimoto Namachozo Junmai is a naturally expressive sake brewed using the traditional kimoto method, offering depth, complexity, and a lively freshness from its namachozo (once-pasteurized) style. The aroma reveals notes of steamed rice, yogurt-like lactic tones, soft herbs, and hints of melon. On the palate, it is smooth, slightly savory, and richly layered, with gentle acidity and rounded umami creating a distinctive rustic elegance. The finish is clean, earthy, and quietly persistent. Excellent with grilled dishes, mushrooms, fermented foods, and hearty Japanese cuisine.
