What is Unflavored Nigori Sake?

Nigori sake, meaning "cloudy sake," is a type of sake that retains its natural sediment, giving it a milky white appearance. Unlike flavored nigori sake, which often contains added flavors like fruit or spices, unflavored nigori sake showcases the pure essence of rice and koji (a mold used in fermentation).
