Takara's Shochikubai Shirakabegura Mio (澪) Sparkling Sake is made of only rice, kōji, and water. It is uniquely refreshing, fruity, and balanced with crisp acidity. The character 澪 (mio) evokes images of the delicate foam emerging in a ship's wake, this sparkling sake is a light refresher representing a new wave of Japanese sake.

Tasting Notes: Sparkling and subtly sweet with crisp acidity. Lively aromas of grape and ripe pear rise out of the light effervescence which presents the palate with a gentle sweetness paired with refreshing acidity. A clean finish with a slightly puckering acidity brings to mind the sensation of drinking sparkling white wine.

Best consumed chilled to approximately 10°C in a wine glass or heated to 40°C to enjoy how the warmth adds body, subtly brings out its acidity, and gives it a slightly more pronounced aroma and expanded fragrance.

Food Pairing: An excellent match with lightly seasoned foods and sashimi.
