Azuma Rikishi Nigori

Dry, white, naturally cloudy sake (nigori). This sake is only coarsely filtered and therefore retains a fair amount of rice particles which settle at the bottom of the bottle. Given this, it is advisable to shake the bottle lightly before pouring to reintegrate the solids into the sake. On the palate, the sake has a full, creamy texture, appearing like liquid rice and harmonizes well with dishes featuring soy sauce or significant amounts of fat.

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
