Shichiken Yama no Kasumi Sparkling sake

Sandra — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 05:43:16 +0000

Particles of rice dance in the glass like droplets of snow with tiny bubbles – reminded of the mists that adorn the peak of the nearby Mt. Kaikoma, the inspiration for this cloudy sake.

Pronounced aromas of rare cheesecake, butter, pineapple and coconut cream.

Super malty on the palate with a touch of salinity and a well-balanced refreshing sweetness. Depth and sophistication produce a velvety texture in the mouth. The long, umami-fueled finish leaves you thirsting for more.

Enjoy on its own in a flute, or with food like Hawaiian pizza, or even in a cocktail.

Niseko Shuzo: Hokkaido's Legacy of Sake,

Established in 1916, Niseko Shuzo is a renowned sake brewery steeped in tradition and located in the heart of Hokkaido, Japan. We utilize pure snowmelt and mountain spring water to create undiluted sake known for its smooth, clean taste – a perfect match for Australian palates.

Australian drinkers often gravitate towards beverages with a lighter, crisper profile. This aligns with the "smooth, clean" character of many Japanese sakes, especially those from cooler regions like Hokkaido.

Aroma: Stones fruits, ripe banana, perfumy, pear, vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb, light coffee.

Taste: Drinkable and well-balanced with light-bodied. Suggests the style of the Prefecture Hokkaido.

Food pairing in mind, fresh sashimi, karaage, yakitori, and grilled meats . The indication is that the profile and food offerings can change when the temperature is heated.
