Recommended for those who love rabbits or were born in the Year of the Rabbit!
As someone born in the Year of the Rabbit, I occasionally seek out sake with a rabbit on the label for a bit of good luck. That's how I discovered Mikaeri Usagi Junmai Nigori, a cloudy sake reminiscent of a white rabbit! The label, featuring a rabbit looking back, is absolutely adorable and almost intoxicating just to gaze at. Contrary to the label's cute image, the flavor is not fruity or sweet and sour. Instead, it offers a robust taste with the rich umami of rice, showcasing the high-quality flavor of 100% Yamada Nishiki rice, making it a sake with a satisfying depth. I can confidently recommend this delicious nigori sake to those who prefer less acidity or a less sweet profile.
