America's Favorite Nigori

In Stock

Creamy Nigori saké, Momokawa Pearl is one of our brews that makes us smile really big. It's unexpected, undiluted, minimally pressed to retain hearty rice flavors and its one we were told would never be popular because "no one drinks nigori." More than fourteen years later its our most popular saké and one that we must take to festivals and tastings everywhere we go.

Profile: Rich, creamy and loaded with layers of coconut, banana, anise and creamy sweet rice flavors. A great sipper with spicy Thai cuisine, hearty barbecue (especially if spicy), chocolate treats or as a mixer in decadent cocktails.

Enjoyment: Chill and serve with spicy foods, chocolate and rich barbecue or simply on its own as a rich decadent treat.

i'll happily be the first to review this excellent sake! pearl is an amazing value and unless you're a complete sake snob it will change the way you think about sake. awesome paired with asian dishes, but the girlfriend and i also like to get a bottle just to enjoy by itself. i just picked up one of the new label bottles and i was excited enough about it to get on this website and write a review. Trust me, get a bottle you won't regret it!

enjoyed this with a spicy pulled pork sandwich with cheddar. if "shitting in high cotton" had a flavor experience, this would be it.

The first nigori I ever had, back in 1998 or so, and still my hands-down favorite. If you've never tried it, you must. Get out your credit card, and just do it. Go on. Get some.

This is the best Saki ...because of its creamy nature ...its excellent in cooking ...I do a saki soy butter reduction for fish that is out of this world ...Because I summer in Oregon ...I am able to find it available at most stores locally ...just a mellow top notch Saki !!
