Muroka shu (unfiltered sake)

Muroka shu (unfiltered sake) refers to sake that is bottled without being filtered after fermentation. Because no filtration is carried out, the sake's natural umami and flavors remain rich, allowing drinkers to enjoy a more distinctive character. Muroka sake can sometimes appear slightly cloudy, and is typically characterized by a unique mouthfeel and a full-bodied taste. It is also worth knowing that, because it is unfiltered, its flavor can change more easily depending on how it is stored.
