From the Nagano prefecture in Japan, Naganomeijo ("The famous brew of Nagano") is a producer with over 300 years of heritage. The brewery sits at the base of Mt Obasute, a location famous for the way moonlight reflects on the water surface of hundreds of terraced rice paddies.

The Junmai Ginjo Tanada ‘Modern Dry’ is made with rice grown in the famous moon-reflecting rice paddies of Obasute, this is a sake driven by terroir.

Brewed with white koji, there is a bright and fresh acidity, think grapefruit and lemon, as well as crisp fruits. Nashi pear, apple skins, creating a lightly sour sake that is a perfect representation of a more modern take on the traditional spirit.

Fresh, aromatic, and dry, this is a perfect drink for any time of year. Serve chilled, pairs well with seafood and lightly fried foods.
