スパークリング純米酒「泡雲2016」

Sparkling Junmaishu Awagumo 2016 from Kisuki Shuzo in Shimane is a vintage-dated sparkling pure-rice sake, with the name Awagumo meaning foam cloud, capturing the effervescent, airy character of the lightly carbonated style. The 2016 vintage designation is unusual for Japanese sake and suggests either in-bottle secondary fermentation or extended aging of the sparkling base, adding complexity beyond a standard sparkling release. Shimane's soft water and the junmai method provide a clean, naturally sweet rice foundation that the bubbles elevate into a festive, approachable drinking experience.
