Origarami Sparkling Junmai Ginjo

Masumi is one of Japan's most respected sake breweries — Miyasaka Brewing Co., founded in 1662 in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture, in the Japanese Alps. The brewery draws on the pure, cold waters of Lake Suwa and centuries of accumulated craft to produce sake of exceptional refinement and consistency. Masumi's reputation extends well beyond Japan: they were among the first Japanese breweries to build a serious following internationally, and their commitment to quality has never wavered.

The Origarami Sparkling Junmai Ginjo is one of their most playful and accessible expressions — a lightly filtered sake that retains fine rice sediment in suspension (origarami), naturally sparkling from secondary fermentation in the bottle. The result is a sake that bridges the world of fine wine and traditional brewing: the delicate, fruity aromatics of a ginjo — melon, pear, gentle floral notes — combined with a lively, creamy effervescence and a clean, refreshing finish. At 12.5% ABV it's lighter than most sake and perfect as an aperitif. Tip the bottle gently before opening to distribute the sediment, serve well chilled, and drink with oysters, sushi, soft cheese, or on its own before dinner.
