【Kamikawa Taisetsu Junmai Ginjo “Ice Crystal” Nigori Nama】

Brewed at Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo at the foot of the Taisetsu mountain range in Hokkaido, this brewery is a rising star that relocated a dormant sake license from Mie to Hokkaido and rebuilt itself as a “regional revitalization” and university‑linked brewery. It focuses on pure rice sake made exclusively from Hokkaido‑grown sake rice and spring water from the Taisetsu mountains, aiming to create bottles that somehow disappear before you notice.

“Ice Crystal” Nigori Nama is crafted from Hokkaido‑grown Ginpu rice polished to 50% (Junmai Ginjo standard) with small‑batch, carefully controlled fermentation and only the pure middle‑press portion of the run retained. Natural rice lees are deliberately left in the bottle, creating a soft, snow‑like cloudiness and a seasonal expression of fresh, unpasteurized sake. The aroma combines melon‑driven ginjo notes with gentle lactic and rice nuances, giving a sensation of soft snow crystals melting on the lips.

On the palate, the texture is creamy yet airy, with fine lees adding a subtle grainy feel that dissolves into round umami and gentle sweetness, before a cool, mineral‑edged acidity .Best enjoyed well‑chilled, it works beautifully on its own or alongside richer dishes such as fried foods, chicken dishes and fatty sashimi.
