Satisfy your cravings

Nigori is coarsely filtered sake that retains much of the rice sediment from the brewing process, establishing a milky texture and appearance. This nigori by the ultra-famous Gekkeikan features tasting notes of yogurt, banana and rice, with a subtle undercurrent of citrus. This kind of sake is ideal with fruit and desserts, or conversely, spicy dishes such as curry or fiery fried chicken.

Opposites attract, so why not try a spicy snack with nigori (cloudy) sake? For sake ware, we recommend vessels that showcase the cloudiness of nigori.
