Besides the Yukishibori Honjozo Namagenshu, Daishichi has one more seasonal sake for the winter season: Yukishibori Honjozo Nigorizake.

 
Yukishibori Honjozo Nigorizake is Daishichi's only "nigori" or "cloudy sake," a sake which during pressing has been passed through a wide mesh so that the sake is not transparent as usual, but contains a "milky" or "cloudy" sediment of fine rice particles.
