Sake in Review : 紅麹にごり酒 Blush Nigori Sake

June 1st, 2011

I had the good fortune to be invited to a dinner party where one of the events was the tasting of a nigori (unfiltered) sake from Miyajima, Japan. After dinner, everyone gather around the table to sip this fine sake. The sake was smooth, creamy, sweet, fruity, and the acidity made it taste like it was lightly carbonated. It had a rich creamy desert taste with no after taste to spoil the effect. This is a perfect after dinner drink and should always be served chilled. I did some research and found the shop in Miyajima that sells this sake. The shop is called “参匠” (SanSyou). I have included in this article the website links to this shop. However, because of the odd formatting of the website it can only be viewed correctly in Internet Explorer.  Hope you have a chance to enjoy this fine sake.
