S Tokyo Petillant - Sparkling Nigori (720ml)

Matsumidori Junmai Ginjo S.tokyo “Petillant”  (720ml)

A naturally sparkling, lightly cloudy sake crafted through secondary fermentation in the bottle, Matsumidori S.tokyo “Petillant” 2023 delivers lively effervescence while preserving the elegant character of the original Junmai Ginjo S.tokyo.

Brewed by Nakazawa Brewery (est. 1825), this sake uses the rare and historic yeast Saccharomyces tokyo Nakazawa (S.tokyo) — first isolated in 1909 by Dr. Ryoji Nakazawa of Tokyo Imperial University. As one of the oldest existing sake yeasts and long considered a “phantom yeast,” it brings distinctive charm and heritage to this modern sparkling expression.

Flavor Profile

• Gently sweet, reminiscent of white wine

• Clean and refreshing finish
