“This is my first nigori. I was pleased the texture was mild and barely noticeable. However, the kind of sweetness this has, combined with the sharper sake flavor is not one I enjoy compared to other styles. There is also an obvious difference in taste if you do not shake the bottle to redistribute the particles. And by shake, I mean slowly move the bottle around. If you do not do this every time you pour a drink into someone's cup, it changes the taste noticeably. This is also the first sake where there is a big difference in taste between room temperature and the recommended chill.”
“Snow Maiden is probably my favorite "cheap" nigori. Sweet, creamy, and goes down smoothly. What's not to like? Sure it's not as refined as, say, a Dassai nigori, but it's more than worth the price.”
Thanks for providing your feedback.
With our sake box subscription, we provide an opportunity for our customers to sample different flavors each month. The price includes shipping, curation and product cards. If you were to buy each bottle in 720ml size, you might get a good price per ounce, but the value of our service is that you probably won't find all those items in mini-bottle size in any store and we hand-select interesting brews each month.
As a startup trying to make sake fun and available, we will take every piece of your feedback seriously and try to improve our service the best way we can.
Thank you!
