•Nakano BC's Junmai-shu is characterised by a gentle taste with typical Wakayama rice flavour. It is prepared using a "namachozo" process, meaning that it is heated once rather than twice, resulting in a namazake with a fresh and mellow aroma. With a richer fragrance than a regular Junmai-shu and a slight tartness, it is highly enjoyable when chilled or served on the rocks.
