Yoshi No Gawa 'Inspiration' Sakagura No Awayuki Sparkling Sake - 300 ml
Yoshi No Gawa 'Inspiration' Sakagura No Awayuki originates from Nagaoka City in the Niigata Prefecture of Japan. As the oldest brewery in Niigata, founded in 1548, Yoshi No Gawa created this sparkling sake to blend their centuries-old craftsmanship with a modern, effervescent style. The name "Sakagura No Awayuki" translates to "light snow in the brewery," an evocative reference to the delicate mousse and soft bubbles that characterize this drink.
Description
This premium sparkling sake is produced through natural carbonation during fermentation, rather than being artificially carbonated like some mass-market alternatives.
Aroma: It features a bright, creamy, and rich fruity nose with specific notes of yogurt, honey, Asian pear, and banana.
Palate: On the tongue, it is remarkably light and soft, with a mouthfeel often described as "landing like a feather". It offers playful flavors of cotton candy, ramune (Japanese soda), and meringue.
Technical Profile: Brewed with local Niigata rice polished to 65%, it has a low alcohol content of 7.5%. It is a notably sweet sake with a Sake Meter Value (SMV) of -44 and a gentle acidity of 2.0.
Food Pairing
The high sweetness and low alcohol content of Inspiration Awayuki make it an ideal companion for salty appetizers and sweet desserts.
Savoury Appetizers: Pairs naturally with prosciutto served with fresh melons or figs, where the saltiness of the meat enhances the sake's fruitiness.
Creamy Textures: The lactic yogurt notes in the aroma make it a great match for cream cheese-based dips or mild brie.
Desserts: It is a classic partner for almond tofu, fruit tarts, or light meringues that mirror its cotton candy-like finish.
Serving Tip: It should be served well-chilled, ideally at around 5°C. Using a champagne flute or a tulip-shaped wine glass will help preserve the delicate bubbles while concentrating its tropical aromas.
