Product details
Masumi Origarami Sparkling Junmai Ginjo is a captivating fusion of tradition and innovation from the esteemed Miyasaka Brewing Company, established in 1662 in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture. Renowned for pioneering the discovery of Yeast No. 7—now a cornerstone in sake brewing across Japan—Masumi continues to push boundaries with this unique offering. Crafted using the "pet-nat" method, Origarami undergoes natural in-bottle fermentation and is left unfiltered, retaining fine lees (origarami) that impart depth and complexity. Made with Yamadanishiki rice polished to 55% and Masumi's signature No. 7 yeast, this sparkling sake embodies the brewery's commitment to quality and innovation.
On the palate, Origarami presents a harmonious blend of crisp effervescence and wine-like acidity, complemented by the creamy and savory richness characteristic of sake. Tasting notes reveal hints of green apple, pear, and white flowers, with a subtle touch of sour cream adding a light acidity. The fine, persistent mousse and slightly cloudy appearance enhance its visual and textural appeal. With an alcohol content of 12% and a Sake Meter Value (SMV) of -49, it offers a balanced sweetness that pairs effortlessly with a variety of cuisines. Ideal accompaniments include uni and sashimi chirashi don, quatro formaggio pizza, or even buttery dishes like brioche or French toast. For optimal enjoyment, serve well-chilled in a champagne flute or tulip glass.
