The brewery's toji oversees production, blending traditional sake craft with newer techniques to expand what the style can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a Junmai Ginjo sake, meaning it is brewed from rice, water, and koji alone with no added brewer's alcohol, and at least 40 percent of each rice grain's outer layer is polished away before fermentation for a cleaner, more delicate flavor. To make it sparkle, the brewery uses a secondary bottle fermentation similar to the traditional method behind Champagne, letting natural carbonation build inside each bottle rather than adding it afterward. The finished sake is light and low in alcohol, bottled at around 7 percent ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe sake shows delicate bubbles with bright aromas of citrus, peach, and melon. On the palate it is light and off-dry, with soft fruit and a touch of banana rounding out the middle. The finish is clean, crisp, and refreshing, closing with gentle acidity rather than any real weight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miyasaka Brewing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46659773595834,"sku":"105145","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/akashi-tai-junmai-ginjo-sparkling-sake-300ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
