The “Nabeshima Cross” cleverly combines the unique flavors of Yamada Ho and Watsune rice. Upon entry, one can sense the refreshing grain flavor brought by Yamada Ho, presenting a sharp and rich aroma that evokes its signature "Yamada Ho" personality.
At the same time, the sweetness of the body is reminiscent of light mango, carrying the tropical fruit flavors unique to Watsune No. 2, expanding gracefully. The characteristics of both types of rice intertwine in this sake, creating a unique and rich layering of flavors.
Overall, this sake excels in umami and sweetness, providing a satisfying experience and is a standout masterpiece within the “Nabeshima” series.
The “Nabeshima Junmai Daiginjo Cross” is a blend of two junmai daiginjos, each polished to 45%, specifically Yamada Ho and Shunkan Watsune (Watsune No. 2). During the brewing process, the amount of both white rice used is the same.
Shunkan Watsune is regarded as the paternal lineage of Yamada Nishiki, while Yamada Ho is the maternal lineage. This sake is the first attempt to blend the two, creating a unique flavor. The name “Cross” signifies the blend, with a “+” symbol used on the label to indicate its blended nature.
