Choryo Sawa Sawa "Gentle Winds"

The nose on this sparkling sake (9% alc) that was bottle-fermented has a vast array of aromas from tangerine, grapefruit, and Muscat grapes to cream and sweet rice. Sweet, bright and crisp this tingly sake has layers of snappy flavors including grapefruit, honey, and granny smith apple. A champagne flute brings out more sweetness to this light, tight, bright and fun sake that dances across the palate and leaves with a quick a dry finish. Hints of citrus keeps this sparkling sake light in the mouth crisp on the tongue. WORD: Bright WINE: Sparkling BEERS: Crisp Ales FOODS: Champagne fare and cheeses.
