Shirakawago Awanigori Junmai is a cloudy, lightly pressed sparkling sake produced from Akebono rice, a local Gifu variety. Its effervescence is produced by secondary fermentation in the bottle.
This sparkling nigori sake made in the Junmai style is unique and refreshing on the palate, a different type of nigori that you don't see often! It is light on the palate while maintaining a robust rice flavor.
This modern take on the Shirakawago brand, Shirakawago Sasanigori Junmai Ginjyo was born from a collaboration between Miwa Shuzo and WOJ (Wine of Japan) to produce a nigori sake that is smoother and lighter than traditional Doburoku, with a broader palatability.
An elegant, delicate and refreshing sake.
Tasting note: A powerful sparkling wine with a rich texture. It is mellow, balanced and slightly sweet, with fresh notes of green apple and gourmet flavors of banana and coconut.
Pairing: As an aperitif, Iberian or parm ham, oysters, blue cheeses.
