From the sake bottle

Kurosawa Nigori Sake retains a visible level of rice sediments that enhance its body and texture. This sake’s fruity nose and creamy “umami” flavor make it an excellent complement to either spicy foods or desserts.

Kurosawa Shuzo Nigori bottle cap

It carries the scent of...

Fresh, earthy snow.

What it does between hello and goodbye is...

Creamy, aged sweetness on entry, apricot in the middle, a light tang on the way out.

If this sake were a place it would be...

A babbling spring-fed creek in a lush forest with a light snow dusting.

Open this when...

You’re on a picnic or even camping. It’s easy to drink and gives you that chipper wholesome feeling.

Three words that describe this sake are...

Creamy. Wholesome. Lush.
