Hinemos Shichi-Ji Sparkling Sake, 75cL, 5% ABV, Hazy Lemon YellowBy Winebuyers

The 7pm bottle from the Hinemos brand is a refreshing sparkling sake that tastes like sweet-and-sour fruits. The flavour combines sweetness and umami, while the finish is light and dry. A great way to start a party. This sake undergoes a secondary bottle fermentation, just like champagne. The slightly cloudy look comes from the presence of fine rice grains and yeast. Aromas of rice flour and mochi are present, with lactic creamy notes and a hint of soy sauce. On the palate, this light sake has the sweetness of lemon curd and lychees, and a bit of lemongrass. It pairs well with spicy jambalaya, sweet and sour prawns, and mochi ice cream. Serve well chilled (4-8°C) and store in a dry and cool place, avoiding direct sunlight.
