Product details
Hailing from Niigata, Hakkaisan is celebrated for its pursuit of clarity, balance, and refinement, drawing inspiration from Japan’s deep-rooted rice culture while embracing thoughtful innovation. Clear Sparkling AWA White Koji showcases this philosophy through a naturally lively expression created with white koji and a carefully managed in-bottle maturation that gives rise to fine, persistent bubbles. The result is a bright, polished profile that feels contemporary yet respectful of tradition, offering a refreshing, food-friendly style designed for relaxed celebrations and elegant gatherings alike.
The aroma is clean and inviting, with subtle citrus-like lift and gentle rice sweetness. On the palate, delicate bubbles create a crisp, airy texture, carrying a refreshing tartness that feels vibrant and precise rather than sharp. Layers of soft fruit tones and mellow rice character unfold smoothly, guided by bright acidity that keeps everything light and refreshing. The finish is clean and uplifting, making it especially enjoyable with dishes such as eggplant and mozzarella mille-feuille or simply prepared asparagus, where its sparkle and freshness bring added harmony to the table.
