Narutotai Tomoe Junmai Chokarakuchi "Extra Dry"
- In stock, ready to ship
A super-pretty, crisp, ginjo-like extra dry sake from Narutotai, beloved makers of the famous Red Snapper Can. Brisk and dry and very punchy for not being a genshu! But still has the signature, almost sudachi-like citrusy high florals typical of Narutotai. Great for lovers of Makiri Junmai Ginjo & Dewazakura Izumi Judan.
A fresh 2024 bottling, on sale thanks to the distributor!

From the brewery: "As a traditional sake brand, NARUTOTAI has released sake with great quality for over two hundred years, since our founding in 1804. Distributed internationally, NARUTOTAI has loved by sake geeks all over the world. Our products are unique; aromatic flavor, elegant taste, and dry finish. Reminiscent of beautiful whirling waves in Naruto Channel.”
“We devote ourselves to brewing sake and will discover groundbreaking sake by taking lessons from the past. Hope our sake will provide happiness to people, and add enjoyment and healing to our society.”
Tomoe's cutting quality makes it great for rich and salty izakaya fare- deep fried smelts, karaage, yakitori, or grilled eel with a most unctuous tare would all be excellent. - Molly
