Product details
Nagurayama Snow White Nigori Ginjo is a premium unfiltered sake crafted by the Nagurayama Brewing Company, nestled in the historic Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture. Established in 1973, the brewery has been at the forefront of ginjo sake production, contributing to Fukushima's reputation as a leading sake-producing area in Japan. The region's abundant natural resources—pristine mountain waters and fertile farmlands—play a crucial role in shaping the delicate sweetness and smooth drinkability characteristic of Nagurayama's offerings. Snow White Nigori Ginjo is brewed using Yume no Kaori rice polished to 55%, Kirameki yeast, and the sokujo method, resulting in a sake that embodies both tradition and innovation.
This nigori sake presents a fleetingly sweet and aromatic profile at first sip, transitioning into a supple, smooth mouthfeel that is both creamy and delicious. Tasting notes include subtle hints of banana skin, sea spray, lemon, and coconut water, offering a nuanced and refreshing experience. With an alcohol content of 16%, an acidity of 1.4, and a Sake Meter Value (SMV) of -2.0, Snow White Nigori Ginjo strikes a harmonious balance between sweetness and dryness. Best served chilled, it pairs exceptionally well with tofu dishes, Near Eastern mezze, Indian dals and curries, and enhances the flavors of vegan cuisine.
