When I tried Argo, I also bought this one!
It is "PARA ME SPARKLING SAKE" by Nihon Zakari, a major sake brewing company in Hyogo 🍾.
This PARA ME SPARKLING SAKE is a sparkling sake with 7%-8% alcohol by volume and the addition of brewing alcohol and sugar.
The appearance is a clear, slightly pale green-gold.
It has a lively gaseous sensation on the rise.
The aroma is youthful and fresh.
The aroma is a combination of pear, young melon, and sweet malted rice, and is quite fruity.
The mouthfeel is smooth and has a lot of gas, but it is gently stimulating.
The overall impression is of a koji base, with a firm sweetness and a refreshingly soft acidity.
While it flows with a swirl, surprisingly, there is a light tightness of bitterness at the end.
It is sharp and has a short aftertaste.
I felt a stronger sense of sake or koji than I expected.
I imagined it to be like a super light sparkling white wine, so it was quite unexpected.
Still, it is very easy to drink as a sake, and I guess it's just a matter of cost performance.
A 180 ml bottle costs more than 200 yen, so it is no match for the shochu-hai RTDs that cost around 100 yen for a 350 ml bottle.
I would like to promote the unique strengths of sparkling sake 🍶.
