TYKU Coconut Infused Nigori Sake

Detailed Description

A modern take on a tried and tested Japanese classic, the Ty Ku Coconut Nigori Infusion takes the rich and creamy flavors of nigori and enhances it with the savory taste of coconut for a truly irresistible treat that can be enjoyed both on its own and as part of a cocktail. A junmai grade sake made from Akebono rice, each batch of this sake begins with the polishing of the rice to a seimaibuai of 70%. After polishing the rice is washed, steeped in pure water, and steamed before being fermented using their proprietary handmade koji. The fermented rice is then infused with natural flavors of coconut before being filtered with a broad mesh allowing for small traces of rice to permeate the drink and create its distinctive cloudy appearance.
