Tosa Shuzō
Keigetsu Nigori Junmai Daiginjo 50
Alcoholic
Beverages
Keigetsu Nigori Junmai Daiginjo 50 combines the refinement of sake with the creamy texture and cloudy appearance characteristic of nigori. Produced by Tosa Shuzō in Kōchi Prefecture, it retains fine rice particles that give it a distinctive milky-white color and a soft mouthfeel.
It is made from Gin no Yume or Yamada Nishiki rice, polished to 50% of its original grain weight. No distilled alcohol is added, and the sake contains 15% alcohol by volume.
It features a soft, creamy mouthfeel and pronounced fruity aromas reminiscent of Muscat grapes, apple, pineapple, and melon. Pleasant sweetness is balanced by acidity, with noticeable rice umami and subtle yeasty notes.
Producer
Tosa Shuzō is a Japanese sake brewery founded in 1877 in Tosa, Kōchi Prefecture, on the island of Shikoku. It is best known for its Keigetsu brand, whose identity is rooted in the mountainous Tosa-Reihoku region, local rice, and pure water.
The brewery is located near Lake Sameura and the headwaters of the Yoshino River, in an environment that provides high-quality soft water for sake brewing. It places particular emphasis on rice grown in local terraced fields and traditional brewing methods such as kimoto and yamahai.
Its range includes junmai daiginjō sake, traditional yamahai releases, seasonal unpasteurized sake, and sparkling products. Through different rice varieties, yeast strains, and brewing methods, the brewery creates profiles ranging from fresh and intensely fruity to fuller-bodied, more complex sake.
