Shichiken Sora no Irodori

Description

A rich umami flavor unfolds, followed by a refined burst of taste. Kijoshu Sparkling.

This "Kijoshu" is brewed using Furinbiyama, Shichiken's flagship junmai sake, instead of water. Second fermentation is done in each bottles to make sure fine bubbles are kept.

Produced by Shichiken Brewery, Yamanashi Meijo

Shichiken Brewery is located in the center of Japan at Hakushucho, Hokuto City, Yamanshi prefecture. Hokuto City is known for its pristine water source, which attracts several major companies to set up mineral water factory in Hokuto City making Japan’s number one place for mineral water production.

In 2014 Minami Alps National Park which includes Mount Kaikoma was selected as UNESCO Eco Park, also known as UNESCO biosphere reserve list, certifying it as mountain with world class water. Shichiken is the only sake brewery in Hakushu-cho, Hokuto City, Yamanashi prefecture and the only sake that is produced with water from Mount Kaikoma.
