Description: The mellow nose on this cloudy "Nigori" unfiltered sake is filled with steamed rice, cinnamon, clove, and dairy elements. Lots of nigori sakes are fruity sweet bombshells - not this dry and compact brew that drinks more zesty and bright than gooey sweet. Unique to the unfiltered world this guy drinks complex and quick with creamy elements that are coupled with dry fruit tones capped with a hint of citrus. Look for steamed rice and asian apple pear licks balanced out on a dry and crisp flow. A great example of "the other kind of Nigori."
