Miwatari Junmai Ginjo Sparkling Sake 17%, 720 ml

“Sparkling” refers to the formation of micro-bubbles, which means that the natural carbon dioxide produced during fermentation is retained in the bottle.
The naturally occurring carbon dioxide, retained during the fermentation process, gives it a lively effervescence, while its delicate aromas and silky texture give way to a fresh and dry finish.
An elegant aroma with notes of white peach, mandarin, banana, pear, lychee, currant, and a hint of marshmallow.
On the palate, it has a pleasant, natural and delicate carbonation. Reminiscent of young wine, it has a slight minerality, followed by a soft sweetness of ripe stone fruits with round rice notes and umami. A slightly peppery spice lingers on the palate, with a long finish.
Beautiful balance with a lovely subtle acidity. Pure and clean finish.

This sake is best enjoyed with white fish carpaccio, tempura, and crab dishes.

“Miwatari” takes its name from the sacred ice formations that appear every winter on Lake Suwa. This sake, crafted with passion and expertise by the brewery's young brewers, showcases the terroir of Nagano, with a balance of umami, acidity, and a refreshing finish.
