Star Series
Part of Abe Sake Brewery’s Star series, Sirius is named after the brightest star in the night sky, found in the Canis Major constellation. This sparkling sake makes a similarly brilliant impression by pushing beyond conventional sake-making techniques.
Using méthode traditionnelle, the in-bottle secondary fermentation technique used in making champagne, this sparkling sake has similarly delicate, persistent effervescence. A gently cloudy appearance comes from the fine rice sediment that remains in the bottle. The nose is fresh and expressive, with notes of green apple, citrus, and subtle lactic nuances. On the palate it is lively and refreshing, showing crisp acidity, juicy fruit character, and delicate rice-derived sweetness, supported by fine, persistent bubbles and a lightly creamy texture. It finishes cleanly and brightly, with a lingering citrus acidity and subtle savoury undertone. Keep well chilled and open slowly with care, this is the perfect sake for a welcome drink, or serve with light refreshing dishes such as ceviche, lobster tail with herb butter, triple-cream camembert and young gruyère.
