This bottle is a Sake Gumi selection! It was featured in October 2021.

This sparkling sake is tart, savory, and damn delicious. Toji Hidemichi Shibata says that he was, “inspired to make a sparkling sake with beautiful bubbles and reduced sweetness.” Looking towards Champagne production, this junmai daiginjo is bottle fermented, and you’ll notice this is made in an usu-nigori style, so it is a bit cloudy from the kasu (sake lees), which lends itself to a ricey nose, with a bit of citrus peel and celery. Try it cold with a bacon cheeseburger or with dinner at The Kebabery!
