Murai Family Nigori Genshu "Peach River"

This coarsely filtered or Nigori sake has a plump nose filled with sweet cream, grape, honey, and yogurt elements. At 19.9% ABV, one would expect a massive punch of a sake. But, this creamy and fruity brew is smooth and round for such a robust dance partner. Look for hints of berry, grape, and vanilla tones that are carried on a velvety and expansive fluid. Not overtly sweet with a tremendous finish for a 20% ABV milky madman! Think milky and silky. WORD: Smooth WINE: Fruity Reds/Chewy Whites BEER: Hefeweizen FOODS: Big flavored and spicy dishes, creamy and cheesy pasta, desserts.
