Tozai Snow Maiden Junmai Nigori Sake

The Story

Snow Maiden takes its name from Hanako, the legendary Japanese koi said to have lived for 226 years. Brewed by Kizakura Brewery in Kyoto, this cloudy Junmai Nigori offers an inviting introduction to sake, bringing together creamy texture, fresh flavor, and a food-friendly finish.

Tasting Notes

Honeydew melon and fresh rice lead, with subtle hints of pumpkin and radish. Rich and silky on the palate, its creamy texture is balanced by bright freshness and a surprisingly dry finish.

Food Pairings

Spicy tuna rolls, Thai coconut curry, crispy tempura, pork dumplings, Korean fried chicken, or miso-glazed salmon. Its creamy texture is a lovely counterpoint to spicy dishes and crisp, savory bites.
