  “Mio” is quite different from the traditional image of Japanese sake. It has fine bubbles, a crisp and smooth taste, and subtle fruity notes and sweetness, without too much of a strong alcohol burn. When served chilled, the sensation of the bubbles spreading across your palate is especially pleasant. It pairs well with Japanese food or can be enjoyed as a light after-dinner drink.

  If you don’t usually drink sake but want to try something different, “Mio” is a sparkling sake that’s well worth getting to know.

  “Mio” is an extremely popular sparkling sake in Japan. Even the bottle itself looks refreshing and stylish! It has subtle grape- and apple-like aromas, with a sweet taste, mild acidity, and fine bubbles that make it refreshing, smooth, and not too heavy. At around 5% alcohol, it’s easier to drink than regular sake, so even people who don’t usually drink much can enjoy it easily. It tastes even better chilled, like a slightly boozy sparkling fruit drink. It’s great for yourself or as a gift!

  Shochikubai Shirakabegura "Mio" is a sparkling sake that's great for beginners. When you open the bottle, you can smell a subtle fruity aroma. It has a light fizz and tastes refreshing and smooth, without the strong alcohol bite of typical sake. It's moderately sweet, with hints of rice and fruit in the finish, and tastes even better chilled.
