Fresh and forward, this nama has intense aromas of lemon, melon, peach, and honeysuckle. Off-dry and
full bodied with mirrored flavors (as the aromas) on the palate and matched by bright acidity. "Muroka
Nama Genshu" is a term used in the world of sake making, specifically in Japan. Let's break down each
component of this term:
Muroka: "Muroka" refers to the filtration process or lack thereof. In traditional
sake making, after fermentation, the sake is typically filtered to remove solids such as rice particles,
east, and other impurities. However. "Muroka" means the sake is not charcoal filtered. This means
it retains more of its original flavor compounds and often results in a slightly cloudier appearance
compared to filtered sake.
Nama: "Nama" translates to "raw" or "unpasteurized." In the sake-making process, after fermentation,
sake is typically pasteurized. However, «Nama" indicates that the sake has not undergone this
pasteurization process. As a result, it tends to have a fresher, livelier flavor profile with more
pronounced aromas.
Genshu: "Genshu" refers to undiluted sake. After fermentation, most sake is diluted with water to lower
its alcohol content to the desired level. However, "Genshu" means the sake has not been diluted, so it
retains a higher alcohol content. This often results in a more intense and robust flavor profile.
