MOMO SPARKLING SAKE is a blend of our junmai style sake batches and natural peach flavor then carbonated for refreshing mouthfeel.
WHY PEACH
Our facility originally started as a winery by the previous owner over 10 years ago. One of their most popular product was a product called sweet peach wine. After we took over, we slowly faded out the wine menu but a lot of customers missed the peach wine. As we became a sake brewery, we decided to make our own version of peach flavored product using our sake. Due to popular demand of sparkling sake which was only available at our tasting room, we decided to carbonate the sake to balance out the sweetness coming from the sake and the peach. The end result is all-natural, bubbly, peachy, refreshing sake perfect for the hot Californian climate.
WARNING
Due to carbonated nature of this product, it is highly recommended to finish the product in one day once opened. The product will lose carbonation over time once opened so it can still be enjoyed but with less carbonation.
SHIBORITATE
Shiboritate means ‘freshly pressed.’ Most sake in the market are matured for several months to allow the sake to settle, but we believe sake that’s freshly out of the tank is some of the best sake. This style of sake is very delicate and highly sensitive to heat, UV light and agitation so once pressed in cold room, goes straight to bottling in the cold room. Due to it’s sensitivity, this style is hardly imported from Japan.
MUROKA
Muroka means the sake does NOT go through charcoal filtration. Charcoal filtration is a step to further clean up the sake after pressing to give it a white-clear look. We believe this process takes away flavors and the liveliness of the sake and we do prefer a slight natural tinge of gold.
NAMA
Nama directly translates to ‘raw’ or ‘fresh’ and indicates sake that are not pasteurized. Most sake are heat pasteurized for stability and long shelf-life, but we believe this also takes away flavors and the true characters of sake. In Japan, people wait every year for the brewing season to start to get their hands on freshly made and unpasteurized shiboritate nama sake. We brew every month to make sure our sake is always fresh.
