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
A sake brewery with a history of 300 years in Uonuma, a snowy country. Founded 2 years (1717). Aoki Sake Brewery's sake, which is represented by "crane -age", is created by the various grace of the snowy country and the traditional technique of Echigo Mori. Among the Niigata sake, which has many "Tanrei dry", we will aim to make the sake brewing of "Tanrei -kuchi", which leaves the original taste of sake rice, and inherits the taste for the next 100 years.
