Tasting Notes:
Amazing! this sake was originally brewed specifically to allow the Formula Nippon race car drivers to spray Junmai Daiginjo Sparkling sake instead of champagne at the finish line. However, even if you don't own a car, that can't stop you from enjoying this sake. I had a chance to taste it at a Japan Society event and it was smooth and bubbly on the palate with enchanting fruit notes on the nose. A masterpiece well worth the price, to be enjoyed for any important celebration. If there is any equivalent to the finest champagne in the sake world, this is it!
