Typically stay away from nigori, but got this one in a subscription box, so I paired it with spicy Chinese chicken. Perfect smoothness and hint of sweetness. This will make a fan of anyone who says they don’t like unfiltered sake.

Creamy, with unrisen dough and sesame flavors. Less umami than higher polished junmai sakes. Hmmmm

Thx Elise. Our first experience with this type of sake. It goes down easily with that curious powdery mouth feel.

Served in a wooden box, cloudy, unfiltered Sake- aromas of lychee and honeydew. Very nice flavors, sweet finish.
