Noguchi Naohiko Sake Institute Premium Nouveau 2023 (720ml) 農口尚彦研究所 PREMIUM NOUVEAU 無濾過生原酒 2023 Vintage

$118.00

Youthful acidity meets an amplified sweetness- the touch of ori sediment left in the bottle giving a soft, hazy lift - then finishes with that characteristic bitterness of a fresh press, the kind that wakes the palate and asks for another sip. a commemorative new sake, first brewed and first squeezed, it carries the scent of young green apples, a bright citrus edge, and a fresh, clear, crisp line. there’s a piquant, gassy sensation: alive, almost electric, tempered by a slight astringency that feels seasonally true, a taste you only catch once each year. enjoy it chilled, alongside sushi and the clean, briny things, a sake that awakens the palate and leaves you wanting more.
