We had a bottle of Shichiken's Yamano Kasumi.
The corked sparkling wine tastes and looks perfect for Christmas Eve dinner.
Yamanokasumi is lightly cloudy, so before opening the bottle, the lees are slowly stirred by turning the bottle upside down. Due to the secondary fermentation in the bottle, the gas pressure is high, and when you twist the cork, you will hear a nice popping sound and smell a fresh aroma. When poured into a glass, it bubbles richly like sparkling wine.
As you take a sip while enjoying the fruity ginjo aroma, the mellow sweetness of the light nigori flavor spreads in your mouth, followed by a slight bitterness and spiciness that is unique to sake, and then it finishes cleanly.
The fizzy sensation that delights the palate from start to finish is due to secondary fermentation in the bottle, not gas filling, so it is natural and soft, not too strong and not too weak.
It is one of my favorite sake among all alcoholic beverages, not just sake.
This is the first time I have uploaded Yamanokasumi here, but I have had it several times in the past. When I go camping, I often buy a two-pack bottle of Yamanokasumi because it is easy to pair with camp food and tastes great on its own.
This is the first time I've bought a four-pack bottle, but it's a low-alcohol (11 degrees Celsius) bottle, so I'm sure I could finish it in one sitting.

Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments!
I wrote a lot about it, but you don't have to think too hard, it tastes great plain and simple😄.
It's low in alcohol and not too intoxicating, so I personally choose it for parties and other long meals!
