Shichiken Usu Nigori Sparkling "Yama no Kasumi"

The nose on this Usu Nigori Sparkling sake that is made via a secondary bottle fermentation is an amazing collection of lychee, Asian pear, whipped cream, white chocolate, lemon zest, Wax apple, coconut water, and steamed rice aromas. Say hello to a new addition to the Sparkling sake world that drinks clean, elegant, a little off-sweet™, and very refreshing. Light, crisp, tingly, round, and with a dry finish, this Sparkling has very soft, very smooth, and very silky bubbles that glide through the palate with an umami flow. Yum! Bubbly umami tones with lots of Asian pear, nectarine, white grape, sweet potato, persimmon, kelp, berry, mochi, and mineral water flavors that bubble up when you use a Champagne flute. With an 11% ABV, this is one of the lightest and most refreshing Sparkling sakes around, and is perfect for beginners and the well-versed bubble doctors in both the grape and rice worlds.  WORD: Refreshing WINE: Sparkling Wines BEER: Creamy Ales FOODS: Anything from the ocean and all Champagne fare.
