Star Series
Abe Fomalhaut Spark is the third of the brewery’s STAR series and is named after a prominent star and the brightest in the southern constellation, Pisces Austrinus. This bright sparkling sake is designed to leave a lasting impression just like the star after which it is named.
Spark is crafted from a noble or dessert style of sake called Kijoshu in which the brewery substitutes water in the fermentation with sake instead. Fomalhaut has a rich aroma and refreshing, subtle fruitiness reminiscent of fresh green grapes. The bottle seems to be alive with light gassy bubbles and sparkling acidity creating a delicious creamy mousse. Skilful secondary in-bottle-fermentation techniques and Abe’s unique style has achieved this limited edition sparkling sake to enjoy at special moments, with friends and loved ones.
Chill the sake down prior to opening and do not shake or invert prior to cap removal. Carefully open the metal cap in a series of stages to release the gas within slowly. The bubbly sake will rise repeatedly to the top and it is important to control this opening.
