Kikusui is one of the most popular nigori-sake in Japan. Perfect Snow bears the hallmark thick ricey texture of a classic nigori, with notes of coconut milk, toasted coconut, lychee, banana, cherry, pear, rice pudding, and genmaicha that spread across the palate. There’s some depth and complexity here that reveals itself throughout subsequent sips. Overall, a sweet, rich, flavorful sake that retains a crisp and ricey texture.
Kikusui Brewery is located in Niigata, a northern region of Japan known for its heavy snowfalls, pristine water, and, you guessed it: sake brewing. The Niigata region consistently takes home leading amounts of awards at pretty much every sake competition.
