There are many nigori sakes to enjoy during the new sake season, but this one easily ranks in the top three. It's extremely popular—so much so that many people eagerly wait for its release every year, and it often sells out immediately after arrival. This is one bottle you don’t want to miss! The smooth ori (lees) blends with lively natural carbonation for a fizzy, creamy texture. A soft, rich sweetness spreads on the palate, followed by a mellow mouthfeel and deep umami. Hints of light fruitiness are balanced by a sharp, refreshing acidity that keeps the flavor lively and easy to drink. It finishes with a long, satisfying aftertaste. This sake is excellent on its own, but also pairs beautifully with food.
