How do you drink Homare Strawberry Nigori Sake?
Homare Strawberry Nigori Sake is best enjoyed chilled, either neat or over ice, to fully appreciate its luscious strawberry flavors and creamy texture. This versatile sake also shines in fruity cocktails or mixed with a splash of sparkling wine, making it perfect for warm weather sipping, poolside parties, or as a delightful accompaniment to summer desserts like fresh fruit tarts or creamy cheesecakes.
Nose: Fresh strawberries dominate, accompanied by subtle notes of cream, honey, and steamed rice. A hint of vanilla and a gentle floral undertone add complexity.
Palate: Smooth and creamy texture with a burst of natural strawberry flavor. The sweetness is balanced by the gentle rice notes of the nigori sake base. Subtle hints of melon and cream cheese emerge as it warms on the palate. The alcohol is well-integrated, providing warmth without overwhelming the delicate flavors.
Finish: Medium-long finish with lingering strawberry sweetness. The creamy texture slowly fades, leaving a pleasant rice aftertaste typical of nigori sake. A subtle tang reminiscent of yogurt appears at the very end, cleansing the palate and inviting another sip.
Homare Strawberry Nigori Sake is crafted by infusing a mellow nigori sake, beloved locally for 50 years, with all-natural strawberry flavor. The unique production process involved testing over 1,000 flavors over five years before settling on the perfect strawberry blend, resulting in a creamy, fruit-forward sake without any artificial flavorings or acidifiers.
