From Kikuhime, one of Ishikawa’s most esteemed breweries, comes this highly sought-after seasonal Nigori Sake.

Though classified as a standard sake, it is anything but ordinary. Made from Yamada Nishiki rice sourced from the renowned Special A District of Yoshikawa, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture—the same rice used in Kikuhime’s ultra-premium Kukurihime—this sake is polished to 70% and bottled with a generous amount of finely strained sediment, offering exceptional quality and value.

Aromatics
Delicate and inviting, the aroma evokes freshly steamed rice and sweet chestnuts, exuding a gentle warmth and subtle sweetness.

Palate
Lush and velvety, the rich texture glides smoothly on the palate like a refined, silky smoothie. The depth of premium rice umami is beautifully balanced by a soft sweetness and a touch of acidity, creating a sake that is both indulgent and effortlessly drinkable. Despite its full-bodied nature, it remains light and refreshing, with a lingering, gentle finish that leaves a lasting impression.

Enjoy it chilled for a crisp, vibrant experience or gently warmed to enhance its comforting, enveloping character. A perfect companion for winter—this is a must-have seasonal indulgence.
