"TOYOKUNI awa sake sparkling" is a secondary fermentation crystal clear sparkling sake made by Toyokuni sake brewery, which brews their sake by hand using the "funeshibori" method. It is brewed in the Aizu Basin, a snowy region rich in nature, where the summer is hot and the winter is freezing; all of the rice is carefully washed by hand in traditional funebashi style. It is made in much the same way as champagne, with the same gas pressure, making it beautifully translucent and bubbly when poured into the glass. The fragrance is vibrant, and the taste is refreshing with a dry finish. It can be used to toast the beginning of a meal, or as a mid-meal drink. In 2019, this globally acclaimed sparkling sake won the gold prize in the Sparkling Standard category at the most prestigious sake competition in France, the "Kura Master".

About"TOYOKUNI"
The brewery's name, "Toyokuni", was written in English with the hope of expanding operations overseas. We are a small, elite group of eight brewers who create our product by hand. Our sake retains the umami of the rice that forms the backbone of its flavor, and is full-bodied with a soft acidity.
