This "Nigori" sake is a not filtered saké, with a milky, high quality, with a good balance between the sweetness of the Rice and the acidity of the fermentation. This saké is made from the specific rice of Hitomebore and Sasanishiki varieties produced in the Miyagi prefecture.

* Nihonshudo or SMV in English (Sake Meter Value)
Nihonshu = Sake Do = degree
This is a fairly complex scale of measurement of the density of the saké with respect to the density of water, allowing to establish whether a saké is dry or mild, the higher the Nihonshudo or SMV.

The "moromi" is first filtered with a rude cloth, then the solids are finely crushed at the pump, to bring out the silky and smooth texture. It is kept in 1.8 L glass bottles in a low temperature storage room of 5 degrees for 3 to 6 months, then shipped at a time when the taste becomes beautifully balanced. The yeast used is the "yeast miyagi b3" which has a perfume of caproic ethyl acid (green apple perfume).
This saké is characterized by aromas such as melon and milk, with a very good balance between softness and acidity, and a filth of fresh bitterness.

The bottle is superb, but what's inside is simply exceptional. The freshness of its green apple fragrance and its sweetness make this a Saké Nigori to discover. (Translated review)
