Nigori nama with SMV +10 and acidity 1.8 gives a dry, tangy profile, and the rustic, doburoku-like character and lively bottle fizz add richness. Aroma stays restrained, so it sits in the jun quadrant.

About

A rustic nigori (cloudy, unfiltered) sake with a wild, untamed character. It fizzes and bursts on the palate. This is a nama (unpasteurized) nigori sake, with live yeast still active and undergoing secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is characterized by a soft acidity with a slight prickle, and it has also earned the nickname 'Japanese-style champagne'. Please take care when opening the bottle, as it is lively and may overflow like champagne.
