What it is
Sho Chiku Bai Nigori Silky Mild is an unfiltered junmai nigori sake brewed in California, USA, in a 750 ml bottle. Nigori sake is coarsely filtered, leaving fine rice particles that give it a cloudy white look and a soft, creamy texture. Mild and lightly sweet, it is a friendly introduction to sake and a nice contrast to spicy food.
