The most labor intensive and expressive offering from Isojiman. Made exclusively from AAA rated Yamada Nishiki grown in the Akitsu region of Tojo, considered the greatest premium sake rice in the world. It is then carefully milled down to just 35% remaing. The koji used in the Nakadori is slowly developed for 70 hours, far longer than the standard 40 hours for conventional sake. During fermentation Isojiman uses their in-house proprietary yeast, propagated on local seaweed which imparts a definitive saline quality to the finish. Pressing is carefully done in a traditional fune wooden box press, and only the very finest part of the pressing run, the nakadori, is used. The result is a gorgeous texture laced with notes of herbs and tropical fruit balanced by a finish that evokes a splash of seawater on rocks. This is a masterpiece of brewing and one of the greatest seafood pairing sake ever made.

Country: Japan

Japan has been producing their characteristic plum wine and sake, a rice wine, for many centuries, with the earliest written recordings of such drinks being enjoyed dating from the 3rd century. It has gradually become more and more popular in the western world, and high demand for such goods has seen a boom in plum wine and sake production all across Japan. High quality sake is especially in demand, and there are currently several AOC style designated appellations producing this aromatic and fascinating ancient beverage. In Japan, both sake and plum wine are usually served with food, or kept for ceremonial purposes and greeting guests, and the west's ever growing fascination with Japan and Japanese cultures means we can expect to see far more of this type of produce in the near future.
