Niwa no Uguisu “Usunigori”
Fukuoka prefecture
A seasonal nightingale
It’s so much fun to open this fresh, juicy “nama” (unpasteurized) sake that’s on the sweeter side with notes of lychee, pear and aloe vera. “Usunigori” refers to the ever so slightly cloudy nature of it, but it’s so fine you’ll hardly detect any sediments. Always food friendly, this will pair well with chilled appetizers with a bit of bright acid. It’s excellent for brunch as well.
