Sparkling Sake ‘Syuwatto Sora’ (300 ml)

Founded in 1865 and stewarded by the Okasora family through the Taishō era and beyond, Chiyomusubi operates from Sakaiminato City at the northwestern tip of Tottori Prefecture — a coastal brewery whose identity is inseparable from the Sea of Japan's maritime microclimate and the remote Chugoku Mountains behind it.

Brewing water is drawn by hand from a natural spring in Daito Town, Shimane Prefecture, a three-hour round trip made daily during the brewing season — a logistical commitment that signals how seriously the brewery treats water chemistry. That slightly soft mountain spring water shapes the clean, low-mineral backbone of this sparkling cuvée.

'Syuwatto Sora' (シュワっとそら — roughly 'bubbly sky') is a secondary-fermentation sparkling sake, bottled in a compact 300 ml format designed for accessibility and freshness. The brewery's proprietary yeast collection — strains selected and preserved annually from the best-performing fermentations — drives the carbonation and aromatic lift.

What sets this expression apart within Chiyomusubi's range is its deliberate departure from the brewery's signature Gōriki-driven density: 'Syuwatto Sora' prioritises effervescence and immediacy over the structured, age-worthy weight the brewery is otherwise known for — a conscious stylistic transgression. Drink young and well-chilled to preserve carbonation integrity.
