Simply known as 'Sparkling John', this is a unique sparkling rice wine made with Gin No Yume rice polished to 50% and Koji yeast, brewed by the Tosa Brewing Co. Ltd. in the city of Tosa, Kochi prefecture, Shikoku region, Japan.
.
It's served chilled, and has a clear transparent colour with aromas of pink grapefruit, peach, lime, and musk melon.
.
The body is medium-dry, lively, and elegant, with tastes of green apple, pear, tangerine, and spring water.
.
Has bright fruity mineral sweet earthy flavour, with well-textured structure, subtle complexity, Champagne Brut quality, and a delicate bubbly finish.
.
Served in a specially crafted glass, with the base of the drinking glass shaped like the iconic Mount Fuji. The odd shape helps hold the ice cubes at a raised height, and also makes for a great conversation piece.
