Kagetsu Namazume boasts a mild, fruity aroma with marked melon notes. Light and medium-bodied, it has a clean and balanced taste with a gentle mix of sweetness and acidity, and a slight hint of spice in the finish. Its lower alcohol content and smooth character make it a perfect summer drink, especially when served chilled or over ice. It leans more toward casual enjoyment than the structured flavour of traditional sake styles. It goes well with salty yakitori and smoked salmon. Those who like this new type of "fruit sake" will be thrilled.
