What is Nigori (cloudy) wine?

Sasaichi Shuzo originally started the series of alcohol with fruits.

Yeast is left after the fermentation of grape juice to enjoy the cloudiness of the wine.

The alcohol is around 6 %, but it offers rich flavours and it has genuine-fruit-like textures. Fruity sweetness and fresh acidity making a good harmony, it can be enjoyed straight, with ice, or with sparkling water and so on. It is ideal for both a personal private drinking occasions, or cheerful home party settings.

 

How to enjoy Nigori wine

1. Straight

Pore the wine into a glass. It is to recommended to enjoy the first sip as straight.

Enjoy the textures of fruits from each wine : Aka, Shiro, and Yuzu etc.

 

2. Add ice

On a hot summer day, do you prefer to cold wine? It is possible with Nigori wine. Nigori wine can be stored at a room temperature and can rapidly be cooled down. Nigori wine tastes good even when freezing cold. It is largely recommended for clients looking for cold genuine-fruit-like textures.

 

3. Add sparkling water

The ratio of Nigori wine and sparkling water is up to clients’ wants. If you want to keep the chunky / thick fruit textures, add just a little. You can make an original drink of yours with your favourite level of sparkles.

 

4. Add fruits to make Sangria

If you add some fruits, sugar, spices and herbs to the Nigori wine and leave for 1-2 nights, it turns into a fruity and juicy Sangria. Acidity from the fruits and flavours of herbs are well balanced with sweetness and flavours of the Nigori wine. Seasoned fruits can separately be enjoyed as dessert. Enjoy with fruits and spices of your choice!
