In 2001, Marumoto-san wanted to add a new dimension to his sake portfolio. After studying Belgian beer and champagne yeasts, he decided to experiment with producing naturally carbonated sparkling sake. After trial and experimentation, he successfully developed Hou Hou Shu and Hana Hou Hou Shu Rose sparkling sake. These were the first naturally sparkling sake in Japan. Made like Prosecco, this sake undergoes a secondary fermentation in the tank. This sake is made the same as Hou Hou Shu “Blue Clouds”, plus the infused addition of rose hips and hibiscus. This rose version, has a different complexity resembling tea-like phenolics, herbal quality, red berry fruit and an extra drying sensation on the palate.

Situated in the Chugoku Area, which includes Hiroshima to the west and Tottori to the north, Okayama is known as the “Land of Sunshine,” because of its sunny and dry weather. Okayama is a rich agricultural region, producing Japan’s most famous peaches, and great strawberries and grapes. The Seta Inland Sea, which lies between the coast of Okayama and the island of Shikoku yields wonderful oysters, snapper, and water eel.

Is sparkling sake good?

Sparkling Sake impresses with its fruity taste and its good digestibility. It often comes in small, buten bottles and looks beautiful and trendy.

How much alcohol is in Hou Hou Shu sparkling sake?

At only 6% alcohol, the fruity taste pairs well with the same types of foods that go well with either sake or champagne, so seafood, fruit or anything light.

How do you drink sparkling sake?

Chill the Sparkling Sake Bottle Before serving sparkling sake, you should chill the bottle, as this will enhance the flavour and ensure the bubbles are as crisp and refreshing as possible. You can do this by putting the bottle in the fridge for a few hours or pop it into an ice bucket for 30 minutes before serving.

What's the difference between sparkling sake and sake?

It ranges from authentic Sake flavor to more soft-drink-like flavor. But Sparkling mostly has a nice sweet taste with a bit of sourness. The sweetness comes from rice and a lot of Sparkling has no added sugar, as their ingredients are the same as normal Sake, i.e. rice, rice koji, yeast and water.
