This sparkling nigori comes with a warning. It needs to be stored at low temperatures and opened with utmost care. Release the cap slowly to let the gas escape in small batches. The sediments at the bottom of the bottle will blend with the sake and create the typical cloudy nigori sake. It took us 10 minutes to open the bottle without spilling the precious libation.
A gentle nose with soft lactic and fruity notes. The body is thick and milky, and naturally, it's effervescent! This sake has a refined dryness and a modest sense of maturity, delivering a vibrant umami-driven flavour. It shows excellent balance across sweetness, umami, acidity, and a touch of spice. "Sparkling Nigori" is a limited edition sake that combines umami and richness with a refreshing aroma and a sharp sparkling dryness.
