Junmai Muroka Nama Genshu (720 ml)

Bojimaya's Junmai Muroka Nama Genshu originates in Niigata Prefecture, Japan's most celebrated sake region, where cool mountain springs and alluvial plains produce some of the world's cleanest brewing water and highest-quality sake rice. The brewery sources locally-grown Yamada Nishiki and Gohyakumangoku rice varieties, polished to the junmai standard (≤70% remaining grain), then ferments in temperature-controlled tanks using traditional koji-kin cultures.

This expression is bottled muroka (unfiltered) and nama (unpasteurized), preserving live yeast and enzyme activity that creates a distinctly fresh, volatile aromatic profile. The genshu designation means full proof—no water dilution post-fermentation, concentrating both alcohol (typically 17–18% ABV) and the delicate esters produced during cool fermentation. The sake is typically stored at near-freezing temperatures to arrest oxidation and maintain the volatile compounds that define nama character.

Niigata's cool climate and mineral-rich water impart a signature dry, crystalline quality; the unpasteurized state amplifies green-fruit and floral volatility that fades within weeks of opening. Drink within 1–2 weeks of purchase, chilled to 8–12°C, to experience the full aromatic intensity.
