Nihonmatsu, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan
From the innovative Ninki-Ichi Brewery in Fukushima comes a sake that sparkles with life and craftsmanship. “Natural” Junmai Ginjo Sparkling is made using only rice, koji, and pure water, undergoing in-bottle fermentation to capture its natural effervescence. No added carbonation—just the authentic sparkle born from fermentation itself.
This lightly clouded, champagne-style sake pours with a fine mousse and gentle aromas of ume plum, white chocolate, and apple jelly. The palate is delicately sweet and tangy, with notes of pear, spiced apple, and radish, finishing soft and clean. Balanced acidity and a touch of natural sweetness make it wonderfully refreshing and approachable, with a modest alcohol content of around 11–12%.
Enjoyed best chilled in a champagne flute, it’s perfect as an aperitif, a celebratory toast, or a pairing with light starters, fruit, and desserts. This elegant, all-natural sparkling sake embodies the joy of modern brewing rooted in Japanese tradition.
