Katafune Junmai Nigori

*Bottle pictured is old label. Same exact sake!

The nose on this coarsely filtered or Nigori sake is loaded with mint, milk, yogurt and vanilla aromas. Say hello to a really cool sake. Why cool? It’s different, but more importantly, it's really tasty! Take a look at those chunks of unfermented rice particles. This is not your typical Nigori bum-rush of flavor. This is a smooth and balanced brew that happens to have some serious texture. It’s not dry, and it’s not sweet. In fact, you can call this a "Connoisseur’s" Nigori, as each sip is wonderfully balanced. There is a great rice flavor that is more milky than creamy, with a touch of pulp! Look for sweet rice and coconut licks, but enjoy all of the movement and the residual on your glass. WORD: Professional Nigori WINE: Nope BEER: Not Really FOODS: International spices, cheese boards, dried fruits, dry desserts.
