Shu-awa Sparkling Sake

Yauemon Shuawa is the ideal aperitif. Neither too fizzy and not too sweet compared to a prosecco. Due to low filtering and lower ABV of 13%, this sake has a great texture and not as pricey as many champagnes.

Fruity and light-bodied with crisp honey, melon date and grapefruit flavours. Gentle bittersweet and refreshing with balanced acidity and grapefruit, black sugar and melon notes in the taste.

One of the team's favourite sake.
