BRIGHT & NUTTY
This Nigori (lightly filtered) from Rihaku Brewing in Shimane prefecture is unusual in that it is bright and lean in the mouth, unlike many other Nigoris. It is made from Gohyakumangoku rice with a rice polishing ratio of 59%, which qualifies it for Ginjo status, but instead, Rihaku uses the Tokubetsu (special) label. The sake is bright and lean in the mouth and has nutty flavors with hints of fruitiness and a touch of sweetness. This is a great sake for pairing with spicy noodle dishes, risotto, or Chilean Seabass.
Recommended Serving Temperature: On the Rocks or 40°-50°F
