Description
This junmai nigori sake from Niigata is lightly cloudy and off dry, with aromas of sweet rice porridge and fresh cream rounded out by a touch of citrus and tartness. The texture stays smooth and clean rather than chalky, finishing dry rather than sweet as many nigori styles do. Its name nods to the Yuki Otoko, a mythical snow dwelling figure from Niigata folklore.

Aoki Shuzo Co.,Ltd
Nigata
Une kura avec 300 ans d'histoire à Uonuma, pays de la neige. Fondée en 1717. Le sake d'Aoki Sake Brewery, représenté par la marque 'crane-age', est le fruit des grâces du pays enneigé et des techniques traditionnelles d'Echigo Mori. Parmi les sakes de Niigata qui affichent souvent un style 'Tanrei sec', la brasserie aspire à élaborer un sake 'Tanrei en bouche' qui préserve le goût authentique du riz sake, et à transmettre ce goût aux 100 prochaines années.
