Tasting Notes

Despite being a nigori-style sake, Fly High Cloudy opens with a remarkably clean and refreshing entry. The texture is silky and smooth, carrying a gentle, Japanese-style sweetness that feels controlled rather than heavy. Bright acidity reminiscent of green apple and grapefruit brings lift and structure, creating a sense of clarity often unexpected in a cloudy sake. As the flavors unfold, they spread gracefully across the palate before finishing clean and precise, leaving a refined, airy impression.

Since this is a Cloudy (Nigori) sake with active sediments:

Gently invert the bottle once or twice to mix the lees before serving (do not shake vigorously).
Open carefully, as it may contain natural carbonation (micro-bubbles).

Overview

Fly High Cloudy is brewed using the sacred spring water of Nikko, a historically significant source reserved exclusively for Houou Biden. Named after Mikumari, the Shinto deity who governs the distribution and flow of water, this sake reflects a philosophy centered on purity, balance, and flow. Delivered as close as possible to its natural, freshly pressed state, each bottle undergoes a careful one-by-one pasteurization process to preserve freshness while maintaining stability. With its relatively low alcohol content, this nigori offers an effortless and approachable drinking experience that remains versatile at the table.

Best Served: Chilled

Food Pairing: Coconut curry, lemon pepper wings, lightly spiced dishes, and cuisine that benefits from brightness and gentle sweetness.
