So-shu — clean and light
This light 5% sparkling junmai from 55% polished Miyamanishiki shows rice umami balanced with high acidity (4.8), per the description. The very negative SMV points to a sweet impression, while the carbonation and restrained aroma give a crisp, light profile in the so quadrant.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
The natural savory character of rice and the acidity that comes from brewing blend in good balance, and the carbon dioxide produced by in-bottle fermentation dissolves into the sake at a pleasing level. It is recommended for those who prefer natural, authentic sake. Serve well chilled as an aperitif (sake served before a meal). The fine, delicate bubbles give a refreshing taste. The name uses the word "spark" to express the natural carbonation that bubbles up. "Ri Van" is a coined term meaning "rice wine" in French.
