Shibainu Kumo wo kakeru 720ml

This innovative Yamahai Junmai Nigori reimagines traditional cloudy sake with a modern twist. The sharp, refreshing acidity characteristic of the Yamahai brewing method is complemented by a gentle natural effervescence from fermentation, creating a crisp and highly drinkable "Neo Nigori" style.

Delicate white lees give the sake a silky, creamy texture, while notes reminiscent of fresh cream are layered with subtle hints of lychee and almond pudding (annin). Despite its cloudy appearance, it remains light, lively, and clean on the palate, overturning the conventional image of rich and heavy nigori sake.
