Collection: Sparkling Sakes

Sparkling saké generally has a soft, light texture, with fine bubbles and a low alcohol content. Most Japanese sparkling sakés are slightly sweet, particularly those produced using the natural fermentation method. They offer fruity aromas of apple, pear, or citrus, making them very popular in cocktails or as an aperitif.

Some sparkling sakés, such as Shichiken Shuwa or Kid Yamanokasumi, offer a drier, livelier palate, ideal for those seeking more balanced flavors. At a glance, the type of rice, the brewery (shuzo), and the production process influence the product’s final profile.

Some Japanese breweries, such as Shichiken and Kid, use specific strains to preserve freshness, fruity aromas (apple, pear, citrus) and a light texture. This process gives the product a unique character, without adding external carbonation.
