About
This product is a renewal of the original sparkling nigori (cloudy, unfiltered sake), the first of its kind developed in Japan, with a stronger emphasis on the umami of rice. The moment it touches your lips, a fruity aroma spreads throughout your mouth. The sweet richness and bitterness characteristic of nigori sake intertwine with fine, lively bubbles, making it truly a "sparkling rice" experience. It is well suited to dishes that highlight the natural flavors of ingredients, such as sashimi and chilled tofu. It also pairs exceptionally well with oil-based dishes such as Chinese stir-fries and fried foods.
