Isonosawa Shun Usunigori Junmai Ginjō (駿 純米吟醸 うすにごり) is a nigorizake, sake made of coarsely pressed sake mash that retains much of the rice solids in the moromi, resulting in a brew with a cloudy or milky colour. Nigori means "turpid' or "unclear". Usunigori is "lightly cloudy" nigori. Best consumed chilled.
