Nigori

Nigori Sake is a cloudy style of sake that retains some of the fine rice particles and koji after pressing. This gives it its distinctive milky-white appearance and often creates a richer and more textured mouthfeel.

Nigori Sake can have noticeable sweetness, creamy rice flavours and a fuller body compared with clear sake. Some Nigori Sake is also naturally or intentionally lightly sparkling, depending on how it is made and bottled.

Because the style can vary significantly between breweries, Nigori Sake can range from sweet and creamy to dry and refreshing.

Best for: Those who enjoy creamy textures, rice-forward flavours and a sweeter or more full-bodied style of sake.
