Kidoizumi specialise in their traditional Hot Yamahai fermentation method. Utilising this method gives their Sake greater body and depth of flavour along with a complex spiciness. This same process is used in producing this rare quality Sparkling. This is a version of sparkling Sake, however in this case the secondary fermentation is in bottle. This Sake has a fruity and fresh-ferment fragrance, a creamy complex and dry palate with a refreshing spritz.

STORAGE: Store Nama [unpasteurised] Sake in a cool dark place, trying to avoid direct sunlight.

HANDLING: Once opened this Sparkling will last well for at least 3 – 4 weeks, ideally in a refrigerator. The gas in the bottle will keep for up to a week, depending on the number of times opened. Once the gas has gone this Sake still shows wonderful complexity as a ‘still’ drink.
