Masumi - Sparkling Origarami - 11%

The Maison Miyasaka, a prestigious family house located in the charming town of Suwa, in the heart of the mountainous Nagano region in Japan, is an essential reference in the world of artisanal and high-quality sake. Founded in 1662, the Miyasaka family has been perpetuating an exceptional ancestral know-how for over three centuries, making this house one of the oldest and most respected in the production of traditional Japanese sake.

In 1920, Masura Miyasaka marked a key step in the distillery's history by hiring Chisato Kubota, a young ambitious toji (master sake brewer), with whom he traveled all over Japan. Their quest: to carefully study regional specificities and the most refined fermentation techniques, to create a sake with unique and perfectly balanced flavors. This expertise was solidified in 1946 when the national brewing research institute officially recognized the yeast developed by Masumi as the national yeast number 7, a starter culture now indispensable that greatly contributed to the revival and spread of traditional sake throughout Japan.

Since 2021, Naotaka Miyasaka, the current president and heir of the family, has modernized the house's image by partnering with Shinichiro Ogata, one of Japan's most renowned and innovative designers. This partnership resulted in an elegant and contemporary reinvention of the entire range, combining traditional aesthetics and modernity to appeal to an increasingly demanding global audience.
\n
The Masumi Sparkling Origarami cuvée perfectly embodies this balance, being an exceptional sparkling sake of the Junmai Ginjo type. This sake is distinguished by a rice polishing ratio of 55%, ensuring remarkable purity and aromatic finesse, followed by bottle fermentation according to the traditional ancestral method. This artisanal technique gives this sake a delicate effervescence, accompanied by floral and fruity notes, ideal to accompany the most refined dishes or for a unique tasting moment.
