Akashi-Tai, Junmai Sparkling Sake, Japan

The Junmai (pure rice) sparkling Sake from Akashi-Tai was naturally fermented in the bottle to create fizz. Freshly-steamed sticky rice and jasmine blossom on the nose, followed by a crisp palate of citrus and ripe pears, with lovely acidity to balance. Alcohol sits at merely 7%, it's easy-drinking and cleansing, great for pairing with raw fish.
