Tozai Snow Maiden is a cloudy Junmai Nigori sake from Kyoto, Japan, brewed by Kizakura in the Fushimi district. It is made from rice, water, yeast and koji, using Yamada Nishiki, Gohyakumangoku and Nihonbare rice polished to 70%, then coarsely pressed to leave milky sediment. It has a Nihonshu-Do of +6.5 and acidity of 1.6, giving a dry profile unusual for nigori. The nose shows fresh rice, honeydew melon, ripe banana and a subtle saline note. The palate is rich and chewy with full-bodied creaminess, honeydew, raw pumpkin and soft banana, balanced by firm acidity. The finish is medium, mellow and gently astringent with lingering rice and melon.
