In the 1980s, a wooden tablet with six recipes for making sake were excavated from the site of Prince Nagaya’s residence in Nara City. The sake recipes have more koji than it is today, has a strong sweetness, and is golden.
Nakamoto brewery is using one of this millennium recipe and has recreated perfectly one of the sake that was drank by the Prince.
Nagayao is a golden colored sake, extremely sweet (smv -48), easy to drink and we recommend you to drink it over ice. In fact, only the royal court and the nobles could afford having ice. (remember, it was 1300 years ago!)
