GEKKEIKAN NIGORI SAKE
Nigori (濁り) sake is cloudy
white and coarsely filtered with very small bits of rice floating around in it.
It's usually sweet and creamy, and can range from silky smooth to thick and
chunky. This type of sake seems to be far more popular in Japanese restaurants
outside of Japan than in Japan.
Tasting Notes
Gekkeikan Nigori is a rough-filtered
Junmai-shu. By definition Nigori means 'cloudy' and this style of sake is
thicker and creamier in texture, with a milk-like appearance. The 'cloudiness'
comes from the rice sediment which remains in the sake after it has been passed
through a special coarse-mesh filter. The tradition of rough-filtering sakes
has been used in Japan for many centuries.
