what is sparkling sake?
Fairly self-explanatory, sparkling sake is sake that is effervescent. Bubbles are added to the rice wine by either fermentation or carbonation for a pleasantly fizzy end product. Drinking it cold like you would champagne or other sparkling wines is recommended.
Ozeki is a particualry good brand for sparkling sake as they offer different flavours.
what does sparkling sake taste like?
This will depend on the kind of sake you get, but generally, most sparkling sake will have a subtly sweet and slightly sour taste. Flavours can range from traditional sake to various fruits like yuzu and peach, which will obviously impact the flavour profile of your drink.
sparkling sake alcohol content
Another reason why sparkling sake is so popular is that it tends to have a lower alcohol content than other Japanese rice wines. This makes it ideal for people who enjoy the sake experience but prefer a milder taste.
Our sparkling sake selection ranges from 5-7% ABV, although you can come across bottles that are stronger.
