This Nigori (cloudy) sake offers a modern take on a traditional style. It’s made using a Junmai Ginjo brewing method, which emphasizes purity and finesse, while the unfiltered Nigori aspect brings a creamy texture and rich mouthfeel. The result is a smooth, semi-sweet sake with delicate notes of coconut, melon, and steamed rice, accompanied by a gentle umami finish.

ABOUT THE BREWERY
ASAHI SHUZO - KUBOTA
Asahi Shuzo was founded in 1830 with the motto, "Quality First." They believe that the quality of rice is the utmost importance in sake brewing; as one of their past Toji put it succinctly: "The quality of sake cannot go beyond the quality of the ingredients." Asahi Shuzo spends a vast amount of energy and time into rice making, they've even founded an agricultural production corporation, Asahi Noken, where they research to preserve Japan's national agriculture and produce better sake rice.
