PAIRINGCOMING SOON
Feel the cold air of Aomori with Denshu's sparkling sake, "Micro Bubble." The fizz, generated by gas injection, keeps going for a long time — it's still popping pleasantly deep in your throat. The sake itself is brewed properly up to 15% alcohol, and a dense sweetness and an acidity born of shiro-koji (white koji) brewing punch straight through the carpet-bombing of carbonation. Let the intense fizz and refreshing acidity blow the brutal summer heat away.
