Hanagaki Nigori - Japanese Sake Nigorizake

Hanagaki nigori owes its pretty white color to the unfermented rice that resides in the bottle. The master brewer's darling, he is always eagerly awaited at the Nambu Shuzo sake brewery. Nigori is a testament to the authenticity of a brewery. This category of sake represents a world apart. It is difficult for us Europeans to appreciate this beverage at its true value. And Still... While the rice remains the master of the game, coating the sake with its starchy aromas, the finish on the palate is most delicious. A delicate sweet note rounds off the power of the rice and lactic aromas, leaving the palate with a dessert note. The sommelier's opinion "Due to the unfermented rice remaining in the bottle, its texture makes it ideal for pairing with rich, fatty dishes. “ The wine merchant's opinion "Its appearance, with the rice at the bottom of the bottle, never fails to arouse interest and questions. A very easy way to introduce sake."
