It took the brewers 18 years of experiments and research to find the perfect recipe for this truly unique sparkling sake, which blurs the lines between “Japanese” and “Western” drink. The taste is crisply dry, and the second bottle fermentation gives it tiny, pleasantly ticklish bubbles. This unique sake is the perfect drink for a special occasion and makes a great gift.
