Taiten Shiragiku Winter Bomb Nama Junmai Sparkling
SHIRAGIKU SHUZO
This sake mimics the 'brut' brewing style, presenting a crisp, dry flavour and sharp effervescence. Although categorized as a nigori (cloudy sake), it maintains a substantial body without overpowering sweetness. Subtle melon notes linger delicately at the finish. As a nama (unpasteurized) sake, its bold, vibrant nose complements the sparkling effervescence, creating an invigorating sensory experience. This thoughtfully crafted sake invites enthusiasts to savour its complexities—a perfect blend of bold fragrance and lively sparkle, promising a refreshing and delightful drinking journey from the first sip to the last.
About the Sake brewery:
Introduced in 1886, Shiragiku Shuzo bears the name of a quintessential Japanese autumn flower. As the sake ripens during fall, the Shiragiku flowers bloom in full splendour. The prefix "Taiten" commemorates the prestigious honor prize received during Emperor Shōwa's enthronement ceremony. In Sakaruga Town, Okayama Prefecture, the beginning of the sake brewing season is marked by clouds flowing down the mountainside. In this setting, the autumnal charm of the natural surroundings aligns with the brewery's legacy to form an enduring tradition amidst Okayama's stunning landscapes.
