Unveil the captivating world of Sho Chiku Bai Nigori Crème de Sake, a luscious milky-white elixir that transports you back to the Imperial Court in Kyoto. This timeless beverage entices with a bouquet of ripe melon, fluffy marshmallow, and rich cream, leading to a silky, sumptuous mouthfeel. Revel in the exquisite medley of melon and vanilla ice cream, followed by a subtle yet alluring hint of salt and spice that leaves your palate craving more. Slightly less sweet than Takara's Nigori Silky Mild, this sake is the perfect accompaniment to bold, spicy flavors and succulent seafood dishes. Remember to shake the bottle before pouring to redistribute the delicate rice sediment that settles at the bottom. Best served chilled at around 50º F, Nigori Crème de Sake is your ticket to a delightful after-dinner experience, reminiscent of California Chardonnay's oaky sweetness and full-bodied charm.
Staff Rated: 88 Points
Nigori is the way sake first appeared when it was brewed for the Imperial Court in Kyoto as well as for most of its 2,000-year history. It is lightly-filtered and the sweetest of all our types of sake. It is especially delicious with very spicy foods. The bottle should be shaken each time before pouring due to the high rice content that settles in the bottom of the bottle.
