Doburoku

Doburoku is a rustic, unfiltered sake variety. Because the brew is not filtered, the final result is a cloudy drink with milky white color, coarse texture, and slightly acidic flavor. In the past, donburoku was usually produced by shrines and farmers, but with the introduction of liquor taxation, home-brewing was made illegal, and nowadays only specialized areas (tokku) are allowed to produce this classic sake.
