The "Summer Clouds" label, which is reflected in the blue sky, grabs your attention at first glance. As you can see from the impression, the mouthfeel is full, with a magnificent flavor that spreads out like an irudokumo cloud. The refreshing aroma is followed by the powerful sweetness and umami of the rice, and in the latter half of the bottle, the acidity quickly rises and finishes with a crisp aftertaste. It has the thickness that only nama sake can have, yet it is not too heavy, and has an excellent balance with a sense of looseness.
The gentle strength of the rice, grown with less agricultural chemicals and chemical fertilizers, and polished to 60% Sakonishiki produced in Izumo, is directly reflected in the flavor. Its robust flavor makes it a perfect partner for stamina foods and savory BBQ dishes. It can be served chilled for a crisp and refreshing taste, or slightly warmed up to enjoy its umami flavor.
If other summer sakes are all about "coolness," Natsuun is the one to support you through the summer with its "dependability. Even on days when you are feeling a bit tired from the summer heat, it is a bottle that will mysteriously give you strength.
