dont know if this is the right place, but i cant seem to find any places that have unfiltered japanese sake in the GVA region. of course i checked the BCL's they dont have them and i went to a bunch of cold beer places in richmond, so far no luck...

if anyone knows would greatly appreciate it

thanks

That's the only Nigori sake that the BC Liquor stores have.

!SG is right. Liquor Store has Momokawa Pearl which is pretty decent ... not great, but still better than some cheap Nigori-zake I've had in Japan.

Artisan Sake Maker at Granville Island has a Nama Nigori as well, which tastes very similar to Momokawa Pearl ... but more expensive since it's handcrafted locally.

you can always go to ebisu and ask Deon for his secret stash. He knows i like dem pearl milky sake so he keeps an ample supply, not listed on the menu so you need to ask him personally.

the sake at granville is pretty good. .but not worth the price IMO !!!! =) locally brewed.. cost more than imported !2

+1 definitely check the place on Granville Island out. The owner is renowned for his Sake, and I do believe I saw he had unfiltered sake from reading a review on them: http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?...post&p=1623648
