The nose of Emishiki's Blue Namazake reveals green apple notes intertwined with delicate floral elements. Upon sipping, you'll experience a rich and mellow flavour profile. The umami is pronounced, and the acidity harmoniously balances the overall taste. The sake is layered and well-rounded, offering a smooth finish. A juice-like flavour emerges as it warms toward room temperature, reminiscent of biting into ripe fruit. The blue label is the smoothest variety among Emishiki's "colour-labelled" namazake.

Emishiki Brewery, located in Koga, Shiga Prefecture, has produced unconventional sake since its founding in 1892. Their commitment to preserving the unique Shiga Watafune No. 2 rice variety and using pristine water sources contributes to the exceptional quality of their brews. The blue-label namazake, once exclusively available within Shiga Prefecture, now delights sake enthusiasts beyond its borders.
