Description
Snow Angel Nigori Sake “Yuki no Tenshi” — Hyogo Prefecture, Japan (180ml Cup)
Yuki no Tenshi — “Snow Angel” in Japanese — is a delicate, silky unfiltered nigori sake from Hyogo Prefecture, the spiritual home of Japan’s finest sake brewing. Brewed with mineral-rich Miyamizu spring water — the legendary water source that has defined Hyogo sake for centuries — and rice polished to 70%, this nigori is crafted with a proprietary yeast and a philosophy of balance: off-dry with a touch of sweetness, but kept elegant at 12.5% ABV. The 180ml cup format makes it the perfect single-serve sake for any occasion — no glass required.
The nose is fragrant and inviting: lily flowers, cantaloupe, and a soft floral sweetness. On the palate, the sake is smooth and creamy with a silky, unfiltered texture and flavors of Muscat grape and fresh strawberry, leading to a long, lingering finish. It is rich and delicious — off-dry enough to stand up to bold, spicy flavors, and refined enough to sip on its own chilled.
