Usu-nigori - lightly cloudy, from hachinoe Shuzo in Aomori. Very trendy! They brew with all white koji, different from typical yellow koji, which produces higher amounts of citric acid than typical koji

Haven't tried their nigori, but pretty much anything with the Mutsu Hassen label is solid.

They have this one labeled origarami, but I’d use that interchangeably with usu-nigori. Both fun terms to know. Killer sake too.

Yes and No somebody called it Usunigori light nigori its party true but the Origarami has less Nigori than usunigori. The Origarami has some sparks in it so usually more Ramune. This is also a Nama sake so its unpasteurized origarami from Hassen which is a really great brewery. I have not tried this one but 4-5 others from Hassen really good!
