Nabeshima Junmai Daiginjo CROSS+" by Tomikuchiyo Shuzo
Nabeshima Cross is a new attempt at a blended sake using Yamadaho and Short-stalked Watarifune, two rice varieties considered precious in the Japanese sake world. By blending both Short-stalked Wataru-bune (Wataru-bune No. 2), considered the father of Yamadanishiki, and Yamadaho, considered the mother of Yamada Nishiki, as a Junmai Daiginjo with 45% polished rice each, we have created a balance and complexity of flavor never before attained.
This blend is truly a crossroads of rice pedigrees, with the supple sweetness of Yamadaho and the deep umami of Short-stalked Watabune in perfect harmony. In the mouth, the rich fruitiness and delicate aroma unfolds, followed by an accent of acidity that further deepens the flavor of the sake. The mouthfeel is smooth and the finish is pleasantly crisp, with a long, refined aftertaste.
The name "cross," meaning "blend," symbolizes the rich character of this sake. A fusion of tradition and innovation, this drink is truly a gem of the future of sake.
