NIGORI is the way sake first appeared when it was brewed for the Imperial Court in Kyoto as well as for most of its 2,000 year history. It is coarsely-filtered and the sweetest of all our types of sake. It is especially delicious with very spicy foods. The bottle should be shaken each time before pouring due to the high rice content that settles in the bottom of the bottle. Character: Bold and sweet. Rich and robust flavor with distinctive rice savor. Dry/Sweet: -20 (very sweet). Texture: Soft. Aroma: Mild. Pairing food: Rich and well seasoned dishes. Great as a dessert.
