Akashi-Tai Junmai Ginjo Sparkling Sake (30cl, 7%)

A bottle-fermented sparkling sake from Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, made by Akashi Sake Brewery Co. Ltd. It begins as a Junmai Ginjo sake brewed through low-temperature fermentation, then undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle with additional koji rather than wine yeast. The result is a naturally effervescent sake with fine, persistent bubbles. Serve well-chilled, ideally between 5 and 8°C, in a flute or white wine glass. It works on its own as an aperitif, in a Sake Spritz with yuzu juice and shiso, or as a prosecco substitute in a Bellini.
