Nigori is an unfiltered sake that retains some of the rice sediment in the bottle. The result is a cloudy sake that appears milky-white. The Ozeki nigori carefully uses the finest, smoothest sediment to create an amazingly creamy, rich sake flavor. The texture is velvety smooth and soft that has a tropical flavor similar to coconut milk. Serve well chilled and shake before pouring.

Through education and shared knowledge, we encourage novice and expert consumers to try, enjoy, and share Japanese sake and shochu.

Good flavor, smooth for the

Good flavor, smooth for the most part, but has a stronger burn than other nigori I've had.

Excellent

Bottle. Pineapple, coconut, rice, and yeast aroma - very nice. Opaque white. Moderately sweet tropical fruit, rice, and mildly bitter grass flavor. Moderately strong bitter alcohol flavor. Excellent.

Smooth!

Prior to shaking the bottle, there is s light sense of alcohol and it is sweet. At 50F it is smooth and creamy with no alcohol burn what-so-ever...A thickness remains on the tongue after a sip. The flavor is like milk, soft fruit, and a mild sense of alcohol. At room temp, At warm 105, the alcohol becomes more apparent yet it is still velvety smooth. At hot, the alcohol becomes even more prominent. My preference was definitely chilled. where the smoothness was maximized and the alcohol minimized. The flavor contains a notable rice quality.
