Junmai Nigori sake from Zuiyo is an unfiltered sake ("cloudy sake") that is characterized by its cloudy white color and intense rice aroma. In contrast to clear sake, Nigori sake deliberately retains the sake lees, also known as "ori". This gives it a creamy texture and a full-bodied mouthfeel. Zuiyo Junmai Nigori Sake has a high umami content and a natural acidity and sweetness from the rice and is extremely easy to drink.

There are two ways to enjoy Zuiyo Nigori Sake:
1. mixing the clear liquid and the yeast before drinking
To do this, slowly turn the bottle upside down and shake gently, pour a little into a glass, stir and drink. This method distributes the yeast evenly and gives the sake a dense, smooth taste.

2. drink the clear liquid and yeast separately
Pour the Nigori sake and leave to stand for a while to allow the yeast to settle. First enjoy the clear taste of the clear liquid without stirring. The dense taste of the yeast is then added as you continue to drink. Very refreshing!

Zuiyo Junmai Nigori Sake should always be drunk well chilled. Nigori sake also tastes good on the rocks.

About the manufacturer

Taihachi Yoshimura founded the Zuiyo company in Kawashiri in 1867 and was one of the pioneers of sake production in Kumamoto. Previously, only the local specialty Akazake was produced here. Akazake, or "red" sake, is mainly used today as a condiment, but was the only alcoholic beverage produced in Kumamoto at the time. In addition, the Kumamoto Prefectural Sake Institute was founded on its land in 1909 in order to optimize brewing techniques there. This made Zuiyo an important player in Kumamoto's sake history. In 1922, the institute was relocated to Shimasaki, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City.

The brewery is very proud to be the birthplace of Kumamoto sake culture. The company was once founded with the aim of producing high-quality products rooted in the local climate. Almost 160 years later, the founder's vision continues to be realized by the following generations. Every day, the company faces the challenge of producing authentic, strong sake that is typical of Kumamoto. The 2016 earthquake caused significant damage to breweries in the prefecture, including Higashihigura, where Zuiyo Akazake brews. Fortunately, the company received support from all over the country and was able to resume production within a very short time.

Today, Zuiyo is still one of the few breweries in Kumamoto to produce Akazake. The company is also famous for its Nihonshu, which has won numerous national and international awards. In addition to sake, Zuiyo also produces delicious shochu very successfully.
