Keigetsu 'John' Sparkling Sake NV
The award-winning Keigetsu ‘John’ Sparkling sake was made for Mr Matsumoto’s good friend John. They are both wine lovers and during a toast with one of Mr. Matsumoto's still sake, John asked why there were no bubbles. Mr. Matsumoto opted to add CO2 to create the bubbles, as he wished to have a crystal clear sake and avoid the natural sediment that results from bottle fermentation. The Junmai Daiginjo (50% polish) base sake is made with Gin-no-Yume rice before carbonation. The resulting sake is crystal clear with aromas of peach and cherry blossom on the nose, propped up by lively bubbles and a bone-dry finish on the palate. Serve cold, preferably at 4°C. Open with care and recap in between servings. This relatively dry sparkling sake can be served on its own, with canapés, tapas, and can be opened for the same occasions that call for a sparkling wine.
