MASUMI SPARKLING ORIGARAMI 375ml

MASUMI SPARKLING ORIGARAMI 真澄

From Miyasaka Brewing Company, a distinguished sake brewery in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture, comes an elegant sparkling sake that blends tradition and modern innovation. As the birthplace of the renowned No.7 yeast, this brewery has long been cherished across Japan for its Masumi brand, loved by a wide range of sake enthusiasts. Now, Masumi introduces a sparkling sake designed for casual enjoyment—Masumi SPARKLING ORIGARAMI.

Brewing Method

Crafted using domestically grown rice polished to 55%, this sake is brewed with No.7 yeast to bring out a refined balance of aroma and acidity. It is bottled with its fine sediments intact (Origarami style) and undergoes thorough secondary fermentation in the bottle, resulting in a naturally carbonated, rich effervescence. Unlike filtered sparkling sakes, Masumi SPARKLING ORIGARAMI is released without racking, preserving its depth and smooth texture.

Flavor & Aroma

This sparkling sake unveils a fresh yet full-bodied aromatic profile, offering notes of melon, pear, thick-skinned citrus, and a subtle yogurt-like nuance. The fine bubbles provide an initial light mouthfeel, then expand into a bold and smooth effervescence, complemented by a lively acidity. The sweetness is refined, with a delicate bitterness adding a crisp accent for enhanced drinkability. The clean finish ensures an invigorating and refreshing experience with every sip.

Perfect Pairings

Its vibrant character makes it ideal as both a toast-worthy aperitif and a meal-enhancing sake:

• Aperitif: Best served well-chilled, its dynamic effervescence makes it perfect for celebratory moments.
• Japanese Cuisine: Complements tempura, sushi, and delicate seafood dishes, enhancing umami flavors while refreshing the palate.
• Western Dishes: Pairs beautifully with creamy pasta dishes and fresh cheese-based appetizers, allowing its acidity and slight bitterness to provide contrast.
• Desserts: A delightful match with citrus sorbets, yogurt-based sweets, and fruit-forward desserts, where its effervescence enhances flavors.

For the best experience, serve Masumi SPARKLING ORIGARAMI well-chilled in a flute or slender champagne glass, allowing its refined bubbles to shine.

Note: As this is a bottle-fermented sake, please open carefully to avoid excessive foaming.
