This is nigori sake from Shirakiku and Shirafuji in Okunoto.
Shirafuji also produces a nigori sake in winter, which is described as "superb doburoku" (doburoku with a hint of spewing), but this nigori sake is more like ogara-mi.
In the mouth, you can feel the fine gas, refreshing acidity, nigori flavor, and sweetness wafting softly into the mouth.
There is neither alcohol nor bitterness, and it is easy to enjoy.
With dried squid and tasuke as a side dish, the purification process was completed with this delicious summer sake. May we continue to enjoy delicious sake in the second half of the year. With my best wishes for the second half of the year.
The "Natsukoshi-no-Oharai" (summer purification ceremony) is held on June 30.
It is a Shinto ritual held on June 30 to pray for the safe passage of the last half year.
Natsukoshi-zake is named after the "Natsukoshi-no-Oharai" (the purification ceremony of summer).
I rarely buy nigori sake because I get a headache when I drink it, but I was told by the owner of a liquor store that "even though it contains ori, you can drink it easily" and was also attracted by the freshness of the label, so I bought it.

It is indeed refreshing and light for a nigori sake. There are too many things happening in the world these days.... I really enjoyed it while wishing for good health in the latter half of the year. I hope I will be in good health in the second half of the year ☺️.
