Gekkeikan Nigori Sake
Japan’s tradition of sake making began more than 2,000 years ago, shortly after rice cultivation was introduced from China. In 1637, Gekkeikan’s founder, Jiemon Okura established his sake brewery in the town of Fushimi, a location well-known for its high quality of water. Gekkeikan Nigori is a rough-filtered Junmai-shu. By definition Nigori means ‘cloudy’ and this style of sake is thicker and creamier in texture, with a milk-like appearance.
