Shirakawago Junmai Nigori Sake / 白川郷 純米にごり酒
The original Doburoku created following festival traditions

This junmai nigori-sake is named after the Doburoku Festival held in Shirakawago, and much more rice than ordinary sake is extravagantly used for this nigori-sake.The process of making Doburoku sake leaves the mash in the sake, making it extremely dense and cloudy. This density and the natural deliciousness of the rice creates a refined ambrosia with a stable taste that can be enjoyed year-round. It is best served chilled to 10 degrees, or on the rocks at the height of summer.
