The Vibrant Energy of the First Press – Nogomi Junmai Ginjo Arabashiri.
Experience the raw, unbridled elegance of Nogomi (能古見). This limited Arabashiri release captures the very first portion of sake that flows naturally from the press under its own weight. Hailing from the historic Baba Shuzo in Saga Prefecture, this Junmai Ginjo is celebrated for its remarkable "freshness" and the vibrant effervescence that only a first-press release can offer.
Crafted with premium local rice and the soft, pure waters of the region, this is a sake that embodies the lush, fruity soul of Saga brewing.
Tasting Notes & Profile:
The Arabashiri Spirit: As the first-run liquid, it possesses a wild, slightly sparkling energy and a pristine clarity that is lost in later stages of pressing.
Aroma: An exuberant explosion of juicy green apple, ripe melon, and a delicate hint of wild strawberry.
Palate: Brimming with youthful vitality. It offers a succulent sweetness balanced by a zesty, playful acidity. The texture is light yet expressive, dancing on the tongue.
The Finish: Incredibly clean and uplifting, with a faint, refreshing tingle that marks its absolute freshness.
A Seasonal Rarity: The Nogomi Arabashiri is a fleeting seasonal delight. Its bold fruit profile and energetic structure make it an outstanding companion for fresh sashimi, spring vegetable tempura, or light citrus-based appetizers.
Express Refrigerated Delivery: To preserve the "living" character of this first-press sake, Love My Booze provides 100% cold-chain logistics and express refrigerated shipping to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast.
