Nabeshima Secret Black Ultra Premium Junmai Daiginjo Sake: Rare, Exquisite & Masterpiece

Nabeshima Secret Black is a breathtaking ultra premium Junmai Daiginjo from Fukuchiyo Shuzo in Saga Prefecture. Crafted from top tier Yamada Nishiki rice (polishing ratio undisclosed) and pure local spring water, this limited edition sake is produced in minuscule quantities, available only by request and often sold in pairs. With 15% ABV, it delivers an elegantly poised yet exceptionally layered experience.

On the nose it offers a refined yet complex bouquet of lime chutney, fennel seed, and lemon zest over a floral mineral base reminiscent of pear, lychee, white flowers, and a hint of mint, bright and ethereal. The palate is pristine and vivid with sharp acidity giving lift to zesty yuzu and lemon curd flavors underpinned by elegant umami and subtle rice sweetness. Despite its power, it remains smooth, pure, light, and harmonious. The finish is long yet slender, graceful and mineral driven with a captivating whisper of cacao that adds depth to its clean finale.

This sake is best enjoyed chilled (8 to 10 °C) to preserve its crisp aromatics. It pairs beautifully with luxury sushi, sashimi, shellfish, refined hors d’oeuvres, lobster, crab, caviar, or delicate fish, perfect for prestigious occasions.

Whether you're hosting an elegant evening in Dubai’s Bluewaters or celebrating a special moment in Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat, Nabeshima Secret Black stands as a true masterpiece of Japanese sake craftsmanship. Available via CityDrinks, the UAE’s premier online liquor retailer, with chilled two hour doorstep delivery.
