Reviews and Ratings

Perry rated this wine as 90/100
Nigori Sake Homare Strawberry from Fukushima Prefecture is fresh wild strawberries on the palate with fresh, tropical fruit aromas. This is a real summer sipper at 7.8% alcohol. Commonly referred to as "unfiltered" sake, nigori literally means "cloudy," and refers to sake that still contains rice solids. Nigori styles range from frizzante to sparkling. Serve this delicately sweet one chilled with a fresh fruit flan or by itself, as dessert. - Community Wine Reviews
