濁り酒 / Nigori Sake







is a variety of sake, an alcoholic beverage produced from rice,
its name translates roughly to "cloudy" due to its appearance.
It is advised that it be served well-chilled, storing it in an ice
bucket to keep it from warming up between servings. It is
also recommended, as with most sakes, to consume the entire
bottle once opened as it begins to oxidize, altering its flavor.


" The narrow brook here
   by the creamtorium
   flows whitely clouded-
   upstream someone must have
   rinsed off the daily rice"

-Saito Mokichi
