Momoiro Nigorizake (pink nigori sake)

桃色濁り酒ももいろにごりざけ
Momoiro Nigorizake (pink nigori sake) is a type of sake brewed with a special red yeast. This red yeast produces a distinctive pigment, but the pigment does not dissolve into the moromi (fermentation mash). Instead, the yeast cells remain in the sake and give it its unique pink color. In flavor, it has the rich character and umami typical of nigori (cloudy sake), and it is a unique sake that is also a pleasure to look at. Its different production method sets it apart from conventional refined sake, and it offers drinkers a new experience.
