Product details
Nabeshima Harvest Moon Junmai Namazake is a seasonal autumn expression from Fukuchiyo Shuzo in Kashima, Saga, and forms part of the producer’s distinctive Moon series. Made with Aiyama rice polished to 60%, it is presented in the traditional Hiyaoroshi style, in which the finished product rests through the spring and summer before its autumn release, allowing greater richness and maturity to develop. This seasonal maturation gives Harvest Moon a character suited to the flavors of autumn, while the use of Aiyama rice brings the fuller, softer character associated with this celebrated rice variety. As part of Nabeshima’s seasonal range, Harvest Moon combines Fukuchiyo Shuzo’s Saga heritage with a carefully matured expression designed around the character of the autumn harvest.
The palate is rich and deep, with a lush, rounded mouthfeel and a mature, layered character. Its gentle sweetness and fuller texture give the expression a composed, autumnal profile, while the seasonal maturation contributes added depth and richness. Harvest Moon is particularly well suited to autumn ingredients, especially grilled or prepared sanma, kampachi, and matsutake mushrooms.
