Customer reviews
Nothing wrong here, just nothing to wake me up. I saw it described elsewhere as "naturally sweet and creamy sake with a gentle flavour profile", and I wouldn't argue with that.
I have been so happy with all the Sake I have tried. This one I took to a Japanese Restaurant very near me. The staff is very impressed with the Sake I bring to the restaurant.
I tried this at the Sakura Matsuri festival in Washington DC. It has a creamy mouthfeel and is a bit floral with a good finish.
Not the biggest fan of this nigori. I didn’t find it sweet at all and it had a sharp finish to it.
I'm no sake expert, but living 4 years in Japan did help me find what I liked. Sayuri is a nice and affordable Nigori that is readily available. It has a nice creamy mouthfeel with a crisp dry finish. It has that inherent sweetness, but not overpowering when you think of Sake. I find it good for newcomers and veterans alike, as it's easily approachable.
Worth trying out for first timers
my favorite modestly priced nigori
It was much fruitier than I had expected. Most people would probably still enjoy it, but not for me.
I have not found a Nigori I did not like...until now. I normally love Nigori but I did not care for this one. It had a strong grain alcohol taste and was not very smooth. It has a sweetness rating of -11 but did not taste that sweet. However, none of this stopped me from drinking the whole bottle!!
Smooth and delightful great before dinner or with dessert
