Wakatake “Onikoroshi” Nigori
Shizuoka prefecture
For your next Japanese takeout night
The Wakatake “Onikoroshi” series is a Tippsy fan favorite, adored for its light and fruity style. Even though the nigori has a thicker texture than Omuraya Brewing Company’s more finely filtered offerings, it still retains those signature characteristics. Notes of lychee, melon, cotton candy and rice come together in a cloudy sake that makes a great companion to seafood tempura, chicken teriyaki and tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet).

Omuraya Brewing Company
Wakatake, Wakatake “Onikoroshi,” “Onna Nakase” and “Oniotome” are all brands of Omuraya Brewing Company, which was founded in 1832. This historic brewery is located on the Tokaido Road, where merchants and travelers often stayed due to Oi River floods. They pay particular attention to using quality ingredients, like soft water from the Minami Alps. They also use their own rice milling machine from three generations ago. Having switched to producing all premium sake in 2002, and now in the seventh generation of ownership, they continue to please locals and visitors alike with their long-loved series.
