Description

Koten Nigorizake is a cloudy sake from Kouten Shuzo in Nagano Prefecture, coarsely filtered to retain rice solids for a milky appearance and rich, creamy texture. Nigorizake tends to be sweeter and fuller-bodied than clear sake, with a characteristic lactic richness. This expression is categorized as a sparkling sake, suggesting it retains some secondary fermentation carbonation in the bottle.
