Silvery emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of apple butter on toasted sunflower bread, honeyed mushroom jerky, pineapple husk, and leather mechanic’s gloves with a silky, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, delightful, medium-length finish evoking touches of tepache and pulque, medicated vaseline, celery and honey spa water, and chlorophyl. A delicious, nicely layered, and balanced Nigori that deftly offers flavor and depth; very well executed.

Nigori saké is unfiltered, appearing cloudy, and is the way saké has been brewed in Japan for much of its 2000 year history. It’s sweeter than most sakés, and many people enjoy its nut-like quality. It pairs well with more spicy/savory foods and works best with non-Japanese Asian cuisines such as Thai and Korean or seafood prepared with a fruit sauce.
