SAKE/Kidoizumi Shuzo

Shizenmai Sparkling 2023

Shizenmai Sparkling 2023

 

Kidoizumi specialise in their traditional Hot Yamahai fermentation method. Utilising this method gives their Sake greater body and depth of flavour along with a complex spiciness. This same process is used in producing the Shizenmai Sparkling. This is a version of sparkling Sake, however in this case the secondary fermentation is in bottle. The Shizenmai has a fruity and fresh-ferment fragrance, a creamy complex and dry palate with a refreshing spritz.
