Akashi-Tai Junmai Ginjo Sparkling (30cl)

This is a sparkling Junmai Ginjo sake from the Akashi Sake Brewery in Japan, in a 30cl bottle. It is made from selected rice and very pure water using traditional fermentation methods. A second fermentation in the bottle gives it a fine, gentle sparkle, and the sake is fresh and light. The nose is delicate and fragrant, with light floral hints of pear and green apple. The palate is soft and lively, with fruit, a gentle sweetness and citrus freshness. The finish is dry, fragrant and lightly fruity. It works as an aperitif or with sushi, sashimi, shellfish and light Asian dishes.
