Shirakabegura Mio Junmai Sparkling Sake: Playful, Fruity, and Delicately Effervescent

Shirakabegura Mio is a charming sparkling sake from the Shirakabegura brewery (Takara Shuzo) in Hyogo, Japan. Bottled at a gentle 5% ABV and made using rice, koji, and yeast, Mio undergoes carbonation to achieve its soft, champagne-like bubbles, delivering a delightful and accessible sparkling experience.

On the nose, it offers bright and inviting aromas of pear, peach, grape, freesia, and fresh bread, with subtle floral hints and stone-fruit accents. The palate is crisp, slightly sweet, and playful, featuring juicy notes of pear and peach, refreshing apple tones, and a light creamy texture that balances sweetness with zesty acidity.

The finish is clean, moderately quick, and delightfully refreshing, leaving mellow fruit impressions and a light sparkle on the palate.

With a high acidity level, Mio offers a tangy-sweet character that makes it ideal as an aperitif or for celebratory toasts. It pairs beautifully with light appetizers, seafood, creamy cheeses, desserts, or as a versatile cocktail base.

Brewed with craftsmanship and simplicity, Shirakabegura Mio brings joyful effervescence, easy drinkability, and a fruity elegance to any occasion. Order chilled delivery through CityDrinks within two hours to enjoy it fresh and fizzy.
