Nagara-gawa Junmai
ながらがわじゅんまいしゅ ／ Nagara-gawa Junmai
Junmai
This easy to drink junmai-shu has a mild rice umami. The gentle, expansive umami makes it easy to drink, and it has a mild nodogoshi (the feel on the throat). It has a warm flavor that can easily be a part of your everyday meals. This is Nagaragawa's basic junmai, which won the Silver Medal at the International Wine Challenge (IWC).

Sake vessels
A bowl-shaped sake cup is recommended to bring out the sake's umami and sweetness. Earthenware and porcelain cups match well, too.
Food pairing
The sake has an amazing ability to accompany umami-rich dishes, which may use miso: smoked ayu (sweetfish), dote-ni (miso-simmered beef tendons or pork), miso dengaku (miso-glazed ingredients), keichan (marinated chicken and cabbage stir fry), and salmon chan chan yaki (grilled salmon and vegetables with miso-based sauce). It can also be a great companion for everyday side dishes.
