Tomorrow night in the tasting room will be all about the ever fascinating realm of Namazake. There will be some unique offerings on hand to firmly submerge and dunk us into the wild flavors of unpasteurized premium sake. Among the selections are two bottles from the “Nama” specialist Hata Shuzo from Shiga.
Each season the brewery brews a tank of sake with a class of local high school students, all aged 19, as the sake is called. After brewing the sake it is aged for one year. By that time the students have turned 20 and are legally allowed to taste the sake, as 20 is the legal drinking age in Japan.
We were excited when we first heard about this project and are genuinely thrilled now to be able to share with you, a tasting of these truly elusive bottles, not for sale outside of Shiga.
See you tomorrow! 🌾
