Fukucho Seaside Junmai Sparkling Sake (50cl)

Fukucho Seaside is a sparkling junmai sake from Hiroshima, in a 50cl bottle. Master brewer Miho Imada uses a little white koji and the Pétillant Naturel method, with a second fermentation that creates the sparkle. It comes in a clear bottle with a blue label, decorated with drawings of local Hiroshima sea life and the pairings it suits. Sediment floats at the bottom of the bottle, like sea foam. The style is Brut, with lively acidity of the kind a pét nat delivers. Citrus and floral notes sit with fresh, crisp pear and apple, ending in a tight, dry finish.
