Nigori Sake
Nigori Sake is a type of Japanese rice wine that is known for its cloudy appearance. This cloudiness comes from the fact that it is only partially filtered, allowing some of the rice solids to remain in the final product. The result is a creamy texture and a sweeter flavor profile compared to clear sakes.
Typically, Nigori Sake has a lower alcohol content and is served chilled. It pairs well with a variety of foods, especially spicy dishes and desserts, making it a versatile choice for many occasions. Its unique taste and appearance make it a popular option among sake enthusiasts.
