Product details
Hououbiden Ultra-Premium Sparkling Junmai Daiginjo Genshu Blue Phoenix is an innovative expression from Kobayashi Shuzo in Tochigi, Japan, showcasing the craftsmanship and creative vision behind the Hououbiden Phoenix series. Made with Aiyama rice, this distinctive release reflects years of development by the production team, incorporating traditional bottle fermentation and extended maturation to create its naturally refined bubbles. Inspired by the bottle-fermentation approach associated with Champagne production, this carefully developed process produces a delicate texture and an exceptionally smooth, rounded mouthfeel. Presented in the signature Blue Phoenix style, this pasteurized expression combines refined craftsmanship with a contemporary interpretation of Japanese tradition, making it a distinctive choice for celebrations, anniversaries, and memorable occasions.
The tasting profile combines vibrant tropical fruit-like acidity with mellow, aged sourness, creating impressive depth and balance. Fine, naturally developed bubbles contribute to a delicate, rounded texture, while the interplay of gentle sweetness and refreshing acidity gives the palate an elegant, harmonious finish. For food pairing, enjoy alongside fresh oysters, scallop sashimi, light cheeses, or fruit-forward desserts.
