About This Style

What These Profiles Represent

Nigori sake is usually cloudy because fine rice solids remain after coarse filtration. Producer sources describe the style as creamy, cloudy, textured, and often sweeter, but ABV varies widely because the style describes filtration and texture rather than a fixed alcohol strength.

The Nigori profile set includes Kyoto, Hyogo, Niigata, Oregon, California, and Kyoto-brewed Tozai examples. Kikusui Perfect Snow is a 21% genshu-style nigori, while Gekkeikan Nigori is 10.5%; that span is why the page emphasizes product-level BAC simulation instead of a generic nigori assumption.

For professional review, the visible cloudiness or sweetness of Nigori should not be used as a proxy for dose. The selected product ABV, serving volume, and timestamped consumption pattern remain the BAC simulation inputs.

Simulation Use

Use the Product Profile, Not the Average

Use these Nigori profiles to compare ABV, serving size, and estimated standard-drink dose before adding a drink to a simulation. For case work, start with the specific drink profile and then adjust pour volume, drink timing, and any case-specific assumptions.
