Style: NIGORI [CLOUDY] Sake

Nigori, or cloudy sake, is a rich and textured expression of Japan’s brewing artistry, known for its unfiltered appearance and velvety mouthfeel. Unlike clear sake, nigori retains some of the rice solids, resulting in a milky, opaque hue and a luscious, slightly grainy texture. This style ranges from lightly cloudy to thick and creamy, offering a bold yet smooth drinking experience.

With its natural sweetness and full-bodied depth, nigori sake often showcases notes of ripe tropical fruits, coconut, and vanilla, balanced by a gentle acidity. Its rounded, velvety character pairs beautifully with spicy dishes, rich umami flavors, and even desserts, making it a versatile choice for adventurous pairings.

Best enjoyed well-chilled and gently shaken before serving, nigori sake embodies both tradition and indulgence, offering a uniquely satisfying way to experience the depth and richness of Japanese brewing craftsmanship.
