A limited seasonal release, Te to Te Junmai Ginjo Tamasakae Nama is a namazake ( fresh unpasteurized sake) from Naminooto Brewery in Shiga Prefecture, brewed using Tamasakae rice, a variety known for producing clean, crisp sake with a soft umami presence. This seasonal sake embodies the Te to Te philosophy, connecting people through the warmth of handcrafted sake, from the hands of the brewers to yours.
With its moderate fruity aroma and soft mouthfeel, Te to Te Tamasakae Nama offers a rounded sweetness, umami and acidity balanced by a clean finish.
