Kyo no Haru Nigori - Mukai Shuzō

720ml Junmai Nigori

The Mukai Brewery is led by female brewmaster Kuniko Mukai, who is the eldest daughter in the Mukai family. Kuniko's family has owned and operated this tiny brewery since 1754.

This Nigori (cloudy) Sake is made using a technique whereby following fermentation the Sake is pressed clear and then the sediment is added back into the brew to give the cloudiness.

The result is a spectacular dry, complex, and earthy nigori. One of the most intriguing and sophisticated nigoris we've ever encountered. It's punchy, acidic, and highly structured.

This sake is unpasteurised (namazake), undiluted (genshu) and non-charcoal filtered (muroka).
