MUTSUGOROSAN MODERN JUNMAIDAIGINJO 720ml

🌿 A Modern Sake Born from Saga’s Nature – Mutsugorou-san Modern

From the long-established Setogashira Shuzo in Saga Prefecture, this early-summer limited Junmai Daiginjo is named after the mutsugorou (mudskipper)—a creature symbolic of the natural vitality of the local Ariake Sea.

Designed with a modern sensibility, this sake harmonizes the essence of terroir with easy daily enjoyment, offering a refreshing and approachable style of Daiginjo.

Crafted with premium Yamada Nishiki rice and fermented with Saga yeast styG, it is bottled as an unfiltered, unpasteurized namazake, preserving the fresh fruit aromas and silky texture to the fullest.

Upon opening, delicate notes of apple and pineapple emerge, leading into a soft and clear sweet-sour balance on the palate. Its finish is clean yet layered—a subtly enchanting flavor you’ll quietly fall in love with.
