The N-Type, subtitled "nocturne", is part of Takachiyo Shuzo's SHIN TAKACHIYO series of low-alcohol, fruit-forward nama sake. It is brewed from Ippon-jime rice grown in Uonuma, flat-polished to 65%, and bottled unfiltered, unpasteurized and undiluted at around 12% ABV.

The first impression is bright and zesty, often likened to lychee and lemon. Gentle sweetness follows, with a honey-like note toward a juicy but clean finish. Its moderate strength makes it easy to drink at any time of day, chilled in a wine glass or with light meals. Keep refrigerated.
