Sako Nishiki.
Immediately after opening the bottle.
The middle part of the bottle is hot from around the acidity.
It has a mildly acidic and umami aftertaste.

When the bottle is opened, it sizzles.
A little bit gassy.
Slightly ripe pineapple-like top note
The same fruity aroma as the first sip, the full rice flavor and sweetness spreads with citrus acidity and a fine gasiness, and it finishes with a soft bitterness and a lingering sweetness of rice.
The finish is clean and mellow, while the umami and sweetness of the rice can be felt.
It is easy to match with meals and is of course delicious on its own.
It goes well with Zoni, simmered cod roe, Mapo Tofu, and Ita Wasabi.
Good morning, Masaaki Sapporo 😃.
Mr. Snow Cloud! You look happy to have your picture taken with the snow in the background 😄For us, this is last year's best nigori 🤗It has a clean aftertaste and is very malo 😙.
I failed to buy it last season, but this season I bought it successfully.
I paired it with a pot of Hinai Jidori chicken because the seri over New Year's Eve was so delicious.
It was a delicious sake with just the right amount of bitterness at the end from the sweet and fizzy taste.
Good evening, Yaz.
Congratulations on 300 check-ins 🎉.
Yukigumo, sweet bubbly - bitter seems to be well balanced and goes well with hot pot. ⤴️
I hope you continue to enjoy your sake life more and more 😊.
Hi Yaz 😃
Congratulations on your 300 check-in ㊗️㊗️㊗️ with our nigori champ sake last year, Yukigumo 🎉 delicious 😋.
And although the sake is different 😅 coincidentally our family also had seri nabe 🍲 last night👍.
I logged on to Sake-no-Wa on the last day of the month, and there you are 🫶✨300kiris away!
Congratulations 🫶✨㊗️✨
It's been a while, Yaz 👋.
Looks like the "Yaz Night Club" is still alive and well 😁.
Nice to meet you, Yaz, and congratulations on 300㊗️. Izumo Fuji is delicious, isn't it? I look forward to your sake activities. Please keep up the good work.
Mr. WOM
Nice to meet you. Thank you very much.
Not only this snow cloud, but Izumo Fuji is delicious. Summer clouds are my favorite, including the jacket.
A souvenir from an end-of-year trip from a junior girl who is trying to draw me into the sake swamp.
One cup and a four-pack of sake.
She's too good at her job.
I struggled to open the bottle for a bit.
It's a bit hard to open the bottle.
I feel the alcohol taste is strong, but the sweetness and bitterness come later and I like it. Thank you!
But I didn't know there was such a sake rice as Sakonishiki.
Good morning, MASSA 😃
Hey, junior girl! You have such good taste to bring a snow cloud as a souvenir 🤗It's our favorite nigori from last year 😋You already have one foot in the swamp 😄.
I didn't blow it, but when I opened it, fine bubbles came up in the bottle with a swish.
The aroma of the supernatant is slightly sour and koji-like, too?
When I drank it, I felt something different from what I imagined! What is it? Sweet and sour...a little koji sweetness? The aftertaste is a little sweet and sour...a little koji sweetness?
When you mix it, it has a slightly sweet aroma.
When you drink it, you can still taste the koji-like sweetness and acidity, and you can feel a thick, gradual umami on the side of your tongue.
Before drinking it, I thought it would be more of a rice-dry type, but it has more of a sweet and sour taste like amazake. It is also delicious.
As the day goes by, the taste becomes more familiar, and I think I like this one better. While it has a koji taste, it also has a soft umami, bitterness, and a hint of sweetness.
It has a strong flavor with a clean aftertaste, and I enjoyed it.
Good morning, Kotaro 😃I'm very interested in Snow Cloud because of its beautiful bottle and good reputation 😆Kotaro's review made me want to drink it even more 🥰Sweet and sour nigori, good one ❣️
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
It's not fruity or anything, but it's a gentle sweet and sour taste. ☺️
The frosted glass-like bottle and clear label are also very wintery ✨.
If you come across it, please give it a try 🥳.
Good evening, Kotaro 😃.
Oh.......! Everyone went to our nigori first guess last year ‼️ snow cloud in the good 🤗.
Yes, yes! It's delicious like that 😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙
Your first nigori! It was delicious - I've been drinking too much nigori lately 😅 each one has a different flavor and they are all delicious 😋👍
