A gentle bottle pasteurization and rapid bottling after pressing, results in a very vibrant\u0026nbsp;and juicy sake with a slight\u0026nbsp;effervesance, which Fukucho is known for. The acidity is fresh and uplifting with slightly sharp green notes.

This sharpness is distributed throughout the taste, not just in the finish. The acidity holds the profile together so the sweetness doesn’t become dominant. The mouthfeel is like that of a solid Junmai Daiginjo: silky, viscous, juicy, and lingering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chilled, a few degrees below room temperature—definitely not straight from the refrigerator. In fact, the closer it is to room temperature, the broader the flavor spectrum, the greater the aroma, umami, and pronounced rice sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e: We’re thinking about texture with this summer sake. Langoustine is first on the list, either raw with a brushstroke of shoyu or grilled in its shell. Scallops with ponzu butter would also be a treat with Natsu no Junmai. Or skip the food altogether and enjoy it on the beach with fresh summer peas in the pod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eVolume: 720ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eABV: 16%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ePolishing: 60%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eRice strain: Yuki Megami (from the brewery's own fields)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eGærtype: Nr. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ePressing:\u0026nbsp; Yokoyama (mekanisk presning)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eNamazume (pasteurisering i flasken)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eBrewery: Mitobe Shuzo, Yamagata Prefecture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mitobe Shuzo, Yamagata","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54765874184537,"sku":"YMNJ-720","price":349.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0148\/2312\/9188\/files\/yamagata-masamune-natsu-no-junmai-3340162.jpg?v=1781789292"}],"url":"https:\/\/minikasake.com\/en\/collections\/frugtig-aromatisk.oembed","provider":"Manaka Sake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
