Why Choose Our SHO CHIKU BAI Nigori Crème de Sake?
Takara Sake USA Inc. is the United States' number one choice for sake. Takara sources their rice from the Sacramento Valley, and use snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Milky-white Nigori Crème de Sake radiates aromas of melon, marshmallow, and cream, with a slightly smooth, fulsome texture and flavours of melon and vanilla ice cream. Slightly less sweet than Takara’s Sho Chiku Bai Nigori Silky Mild, its finish is lightly savoury, with hints of salt and spice. Reminiscent of a Chardonnay from California, our Sho Chiku Bai Crème de Sake is a refreshing change of pace.
The Japanese Tradition of Sake
Sake has been around longer than many other traditions associated with Japan. The Imperial Court served sake more than 1,000 years ago during big events such as rituals and special celebrations. Later, many Japanese began drinking sake during everyday occasions, no longer waiting until a special ones. The popularity of the drink spread around the world. Today, sake has become a staple across the west and has a growing reputation across America as an alternative to traditional wine and beer.
