Cloudy Dragon
Ultra-light nigori genshu, firm and decisive in the Kokuryu style. Sharp and dry with heft, finishes cleanly. Seasonal release for spring and early summer enjoyment.

Kokuryu labels resound with deep flavor, but what makes them unique is their overall finesse. Sakes with big taste profiles can sometimes be overbearing and lacking in clarity. Kokuryu skillfully avoids this, bringing together rich flavor and delicate balance in a unique expression of the sake-maker’s art.
