5th February Is Nigori Sake Day!

What Is Nigori Sake Day?

什么是浊酒日呢？

Established by Miwa Shuzo Co Ltd, headquartered in Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture. The date is derived from the Japanese wordplay where numbers substitute for syllables in words. In this case, it is "ni (2) go (5) ri".

由总部位于岐阜县大垣市的三轮酒造设立，其日期源于日本的文字游戏，浊字在文字中用数字代替音节，在这种情况下，它是“ni (2) go (5) ri”。

The date also reflects the hope that nigori sake, which generally has the image of being a cold-weather sake, can be enjoyed in any season, from the cold of winter through to spring and summer.

这一日期也反映出人们希望从寒冷的冬天到春夏，在任何季节都能喝到浊酒。浊酒通常给人的印象是适合在寒冷的天气饮用。

The aim is to raise awareness of nigori sake, which is said to be easy to drink due to its natural umami and sweetness, and to encourage nigori sake fans to join together and call themselves 'nigorers'. The anniversary was recognised and registered by the Japan Anniversary Association in 2022.

此举的目的是为了提高人们对浊酒的认识，鼓励自称浊酒人的浊酒爱好者团结起来。据说浊酒因其天然的鲜味和甜味而非常适合于饮用哦。该纪念日于2022年得到日本纪念日协会的认可和注册。

Recommended Nigori Sake

浊酒推荐

Daku means cloudy in Japanese. Nigori sake is unfiltered sake and is often called cloudy sake in English. Normally, once the fermentation is finished, the fermented moromi is pressed with cloth and the undissolved rice yeast is removed. But using a rougher filter allows bits of rice solids to remain in the liquid, giving nigori both its appearance and name.

濁在日语中是多云的意思，浊酒酒是未经过滤的清酒，在英语中通常被称为浑浊清酒。通常情况下，一旦发酵完成，发酵后的酒水混合物用布压紧，过滤除去未溶解的米和酵母。但使用粗糙的过滤器会让大米固体残留在液体中，从而使浊酒具有浑浊的外观，与其名称一致。

Daku Nigori Sake is semi-sweet nigori style sake with fruity nose made from world famous Kyoto soft water Fushimizu. Enjoy this sake chilled or over ice with a meal. It goes especially well with spicy dishes. You can also try it with crab, pork, spicy tuna poke, or just as a dessert wine.

Daku浊酒是一种半甜的浊酒，以世界著名的京都软水富士见水酿造而成。饮用此酒时可冰镇或加冰饮用。它与辛辣的菜肴特别相配。你也可以用它搭配螃蟹、猪肉、辣金枪鱼，或者只是作为餐后酒。
