E' il mio favarito. Non e' piu pesante in gusto di Chardonnay. L'ho avuto a Sakaya Bic perche ho bisogno di avuto due bottelie per il sconto! Quindi era piu caro, ma e' buono. — a month ago

E’ il tipico di Sauvignon blanc secondo me. E’ il mio favarito piu di New Zealand. E’ perfetto con pesci freschi, come calpaccio di fluke o sashimi. Lo vorrei prendere un paio di botteglia se hanno ancora il sconto. — 6 years ago

Takara — Mio Sparkling Sake — Japan 🇯🇵

Overview
A lightly sparkling sake crafted in a modern, approachable style, designed to highlight freshness, gentle sweetness, and aromatic lift. With a low 5% ABV, Mio offers a soft, easygoing expression that bridges the gap between traditional sake and sparkling wine.

Aromas & Flavors
Delicate notes of white peach, pear, melon, and subtle floral tones, with a light rice-driven sweetness and clean aromatic profile.

Mouthfeel
Light-bodied with fine, soft bubbles and a smooth, off-dry texture. The low alcohol and gentle effervescence create a mellow, refreshing feel with a clean, easy finish.

Food Pairings
Sushi, sashimi, tempura, light appetizers, or as an aperitif. Particularly effective at opening a meal.

Verdict
An approachable and enjoyable sparkling sake that delivers freshness, softness, and aromatic charm. Ideal as a light, food-friendly starter.

🍶 Did You Know?
Sparkling sake like Mio is often crafted with lower alcohol and slight residual sugar, making it more approachable and similar in feel to lightly sparkling wines such as Moscato d’Asti.

🍷 Personal Pick
Completely out of my comfort zone, and a pleasant surprise. It set the tone perfectly for a Japanese meal, offering a soft, aromatic, and refreshing start before transitioning into white wines.

Waxy unctuous but dry. Citrus peel and zest at first then apricot and salty cantaloupe towards the finish. A delightfully dry skin contact pet nat with just a touch of RS. — 4 years ago
