HOW TO ENJOY
PAIRING
This festive nigori pairs beautifully with creamy, rich winter dishes — think fried chicken, spicy karaage, hot pot, or buttery seafood like crab and scallops. Its gentle sweetness also complements desserts such as strawberry shortcake or holiday cookies.
SERVING
Serve well-chilled to highlight its creamy texture and refreshing sweetness. Gently invert the bottle before pouring to mix the settled rice sediment. Best enjoyed in a wine glass or ochoko to appreciate its aroma and silky body.
