The theme for the 2024 Nirou is low polishing. It’s a Junmai sake made with Aiyama rice from Hyogo Prefecture, polished to 80%. This sake beautifully showcases the qualities of Aiyama while staying true to Nito’s signature low-polish style. A highly anticipated, exclusive release that’s only available now. It has been all sold out in market in Japan—don’t miss out on this attractive bottle! A gentle and elegant fragrance of green apple and citrus. The smooth aroma brings a pleasant floral brightness. A soft yet full-bodied mouthfeel. Juicy sweetness of white peaches and the light, refreshing acidity characteristic of Aiyama create a beautifully defined flavor profile. This sake strikes a perfect balance between richness and lightness, embodying Nito’s signature taste. After swallowing, a slightly bitter aftertaste lingers, enhancing its drinkability. It pairs wonderfully with various dishes, especially cheese or creamy meals.
