Product details
Aramasa No.6 X-Mas Type Sparkling is a limited Christmas-season release from Aramasa Shuzo, developed from the brewery’s No.6 X-Type. First introduced in 2015, the seasonal collection reflects the brewery’s vision of bringing its distinctive craftsmanship to holiday celebrations. The 2026 edition features Misato Nishiki rice grown in Akita Prefecture, polished to 55%, and undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle to create its naturally formed bubbles. This process gives the release its lively sparkling character while preserving the signature style of the No.6 series.
The aroma reveals notes of grape, apple, and pomegranate, with a gentler hint of citrus. Fine, lively bubbles accompany a smooth, softly sweet palate, balanced by pronounced, refreshing acidity. As the flavors develop, grapefruit-like impressions emerge alongside a brighter sweetness, while a subtle touch of bitterness adds definition to the lingering finish.
