Product details
Kitaya Brewery, deeply rooted in Fukuoka’s Yame region of Kyushu, has been dedicated for nearly two centuries to refining the art of sake—striving to balance elegance, terroir, and finesse. Their sparkling jewel, Ai No Hime (lovingly meaning “Love Princess”), is crafted using the bottle-fermentation technique. It’s produced from Ginn no Sato rice polished to 65%. Ai No Hime is designed as a graceful, approachable option—perfect for toasting celebrations or as a bright, sparkling aperitif.
Bright and lively with fine, persistent bubbles, this sake offers a gentle sweetness layered with vibrant citrus accents, finishing crisp and refreshingly clean. This sparkling sake’s light-bodied charm and effervescence make it highly versatile at the table. It pairs wonderfully with fresh sushi, sashimi, or delicate seafood—think scallops dressed with a citrus vinaigrette or chilled crab—where its lively acidity cleanses the palate.
