The Second Glass

This stuff is WILD! If you don’t like sake, you need to try this. If you’re a sake lover, this is required tasting. This sake was voted the favorite beverage of the “Silk Road Social” at Pho Republique by the hundreds of attendees. Even mentioning the name to a local wine shop had the manager drooling. “This stuff is incredibly,” he proclaimed.

The Murai Family Nigori Genshu sake is unfiltered, which means when shaken, it becomes a cloudy, milky white color. This gives the sake a smooth and creamy texture along with a more pronounced ricey flavor. When we first tasted this sake the uniquely bold and strong flavors made us do a double take and actually yell out loud, “WOW!” This isn’t a delicate sake, which means it cries for strong and intense food. Think spicy curry or a hot Thai dish.

Oh, one more thing, the stuff packs a punch at 20% alcohol, so go easy on it.
