NOGOMI JUNMAI GINJO ARABASIRI 能古見 純米吟醸 あらばしり 720ml

Brewed by Matsuse Shuzo (松瀬酒造) in Saga Prefecture, Nogomi Junmai Ginjo Arabashiri (能古見 純米吟醸 あらばしり) captures the vibrant energy of freshly pressed sake. “Arabashiri” (あらばしり) refers to the first free-run portion of sake released from the press — lively, fragrant, and slightly effervescent, offering a pure snapshot of the fermentation.

Made from premium Saga-grown rice and brewed with local soft spring water, this Junmai Ginjo showcases a bright aroma of melon, pear, and white peach, balanced by a youthful acidity and refreshing umami. Lightly textured yet expressive, it’s a seasonal bottling that embodies Nogomi’s spirit of craftsmanship and elegance.
