Tasting notes

The result is sparkling, Alain Ducasse Sparkling Sake is as clear as the famous water from its region of origin, Yamanashi. The nose is complex, releasing three different aromas in three stages. The top note is of lily of the valley flowers, followed by a more complex, fruity middle note of vine peach-melon and white cherry. The third note is intense, with a touch of cardamom and chilli. This is a sparkling sake that is pleasantly thirst-quenching. The bubbles are fine, impressive and dynamic, with a palate that is both silky and energetic. A bouquet of white cherries emanates as the bubbles burst, accompanied by the bitter-sweet ripples of barrel maturation, all leading to a calm, pleasant finish.

About this sake

Yamanashi Meijo is a renowned sake brewery located in the Yamanashi prefecture of Japan. The brewery has a rich history dating back to the 17th century when it was founded by the Ogasawara family. Today, Yamanashi Meijo is known for producing some of the finest sake in Japan, including the Shichiken brand.

Shichiken is a premium sake brand that is highly sought after by sake enthusiasts around the world. The brand is known for its exceptional quality and unique flavour profile, which is achieved through a combination of traditional brewing techniques and modern technology.

One of the most popular products in the Shichiken range is the Alain Ducasse Sparkling Sake. This unique sake is a collaboration between Yamanashi Meijo and the renowned French chef Alain Ducasse. The sake is made using a blend of traditional sake brewing techniques and modern sparkling wine production methods, resulting in a truly unique and delicious product.

The Alain Ducasse Sparkling Sake is made using only the finest rice and water, which are carefully selected to ensure the highest quality. The sake is then brewed using traditional methods, including the use of koji mould and a slow fermentation process. Once the sake has been brewed, it is then carbonated using the same method used to produce sparkling wine.

The result is a sake that is light, refreshing and effervescent, with a delicate flavour profile that is perfectly balanced between sweetness and acidity. The Alain Ducasse Sparkling Sake is perfect for pairing with a wide range of dishes, including seafood, sushi and light salads.

Overall, Yamanashi Meijo and the Shichiken brand are synonymous with quality and excellence in the world of sake. The Alain Ducasse Sparkling Sake is a testament to the brewery's commitment to innovation and tradition, and is a must-try for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life.
