Ozeki Karatamba Nama Chozo Draft Sake 720 ml

Ozeki Karatamba Nama Chozo is a refined expression from Ozeki, one of Japan’s established producers, and part of the Karatamba series known for its crisp, dry character. The series is crafted using Hyogo-grown Yamada Nishiki rice for the koji rice and draws on the longstanding traditions of the Tamba Toji school, one of Japan’s respected regional traditions of craftsmanship. This Nama Chozo style is pasteurized only once, helping preserve a notably fresh character while maintaining the signature dry profile of Karatamba. The result is a smooth, clear expression with a refreshing character and a well-defined finish, reflecting Ozeki’s balance of tradition and modern appeal.

The aroma is enhanced by a fresh, clean character, while the palate offers a soft, smooth texture followed by a crisp, dry finish. Balanced umami adds depth without overwhelming the refreshing profile. Serve chilled to highlight its freshness, or enjoy it over ice for a different presentation. Pair it with raw oysters, soba noodles, lemon chicken, lightly seasoned seafood, or other clean and savory dishes that complement its crisp character.
