Minami-saku, Nagano Prefecture, Japan
A vibrant, limited-edition sake released each summer, Kurosawa Junmai Kimoto Draft offers a fresh take on the classic Kimoto style. Left unpasteurized (Nama) to preserve its natural liveliness, this “draft” sake retains a bright acidity and gentle sweetness that perfectly capture the essence of summer.
The flavor is crisp, lightly sweet, and refreshing, with notes of fresh rice, melon, and citrus, finishing clean and smooth. Its youthful energy makes it ideal for warm-weather drinking—served chilled as a refreshing aperitif or paired with light seafood, summer vegetables, or cold appetizers.
Adorned with its distinctive Yokai label (Yokai are traditional Japanese folklore spirits, often playful or mischievous, symbolizing the mysterious side of nature), this sake blends centuries of brewing heritage with a touch of modern storytelling.
