- Junmai Ginjo
Narutotai “LED”
This junmai ginjo from Naruto Tai in Tokushima was developed through a deliberate experiment: exposing sake yeast to continuous LED light until a productive mutation occurred. The resulting yeast produces tropical fruit and candied nut aromatics with a juicy, slightly creamy body and a clean, dry finish. It is a genuinely unusual sake that earns attention on its own merits.

Narutotai “Ginjo” Nama Genshu
Narutotai Ginjo Nama Genshu is bottled undiluted and unpasteurized in UV-protective aluminum to preserve freshness. The flavor profile is savory and complex—nutty, herbal, with a slightly rice-pudding-like texture—quite different from the floral or fruit-forward ginjo styles that dominate the category. It is associated with a brief appearance in the film Blade Runner 2049, though the sake stands on its own merits.
