Naebasan

Naebasan is the flagship brand of Naeba Shuzo, bearing the name of the sacred Mt. Naeba, a symbol of Tsunan Town and one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. The high-altitude moors spreading near the 2,145m summit and the pure white snow that piles up in winter. The pure brewing water nurtured by that majestic nature is the clean soul of this sake.
The characteristic of the taste is 'light and dry,' which follows the royal road of Niigata sake. However, it is not just dry; the elegant and smooth mouthfeel produced by soft water brewing and the gentle umami of rice are layered to create a transparency like snowmelt water. The noble sharpness that complements any dish is just like the refreshing breeze blowing through the vast foot of Mt. Naeba. It is a representative drink of the brewery that expresses the terroir of the snow country Tsunan most purely.
