The Nabeshima Moon Series follows the sake year through the lunar expressions from Saga prefecture's Nabeshima brewery.
It begins with Nabeshima Junmai Ginjo New Moon Namazake, the anticipated unpasteurised winter shiboritate that opens the lunar series, with mikan and musk melon on the nose and pineapple and apricots on the palate.
Nabeshima Summer Moon, a Junmai Ginjo of Yamadanishiki polished to 50%, offers a delicate, fresh and fruity bouquet with a measured balance of sweetness and acidity, a soft body, and a crisp, gratifying finish.
Nabeshima Harvest Moon completes the arc as a hiyaoroshi aged through spring and summer, rich and deep with a lush, rounded mouthfeel from Aiyama rice. From bright new beginnings to full seasonal maturity, this set captures the moon's whole cycle in sake.
