sparkling Clear (720 ml)

Garyubai's sparkling clear sake originates in Aso, Kumamoto's volcanic plateau region, where mineral-laden groundwater filtered through basalt creates a distinctive mineral spine in the final spirit. The producer employs junmai brewing (rice-only fermentation, no added alcohol) with a polishing ratio targeting the ginjo range, concentrating aromatic compounds while preserving the terroir's mineral character.

Carbonation is introduced post-fermentation, creating effervescence that amplifies the sake's crisp acidity and volcanic minerality rather than masking it—a deliberate choice to showcase Aso's geological signature. The sparkling format positions this expression as a departure from still junmai convention, leveraging bubbles to brighten the palate and extend the finish.

Drink chilled, ideally within 12 months of bottling to preserve carbonation and aromatic volatility.
