Produced by the historic Okunomatsu Shuzo (est. 1716), this sake is notable for using a traditional second fermentation in the bottle—the same \"methode traditionelle\" used in Champagne. This process creates naturally fine, persistent bubbles rather than the coarse carbonation found in lower-end sparkling sakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 290 ml bottling is designed to be a sophisticated alternative to sparkling wine, offering the elegance of a Daiginjo with the refreshment of a sparkling beverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e A bright and fruity nose with specific notes of white chocolate, ume plum, toasted almonds, and apple jelly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the tongue, it features a frothy, light body with a subtle sweetness.
