Fukucho Seaside Junmai Sparkling Sake

Fukucho’s Seaside Junmai Sparkling sake is made through secondary fermentation in the bottle. Toji Miho Imada uses a little white koji in this sake, resulting in citrus notes and refreshing finish. Fukucho’s female brewery owner, Miho Imada, is also the Toji – a rarity in Japan to have both jobs done by the same person. Miho-san’s passion and curiosity for sake brewing is truly amazing: to date she has revived a local heirloom rice that was out of use for hundreds of years, created her own hybrid yeast starter, and experimented with brewing sake using white koji. On the nose and palate we get crisp notes of lemon-lime and apple aromas with a soft, frothy finish. Fukucho’s Seaside Junmai sparkling pairs well with seafood;try it with West Coast oysters, spicy shellfish dishes or fruit-based desserts.
