It is quite sweet, with a hint of sourness. Semi-dry but relatively easy to drink. It is an all-rounder sake because it matches almost any Japanese dishes and you can serve chilled or warm, have it before, during or after your meal. At the same time, this is an amazing sake with different characters when serving at different temperatures.

Kizakura Nigori Sake
 


Nigorizake is semi-filtered sake and often called cloudy or milky sake in English. A rougher filter is used after the fermentation means nigorizake contains rice residues, koji mold and sake kasu (lees). All these contributed to its cloudy appearance.
