“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.”
