E' il mio favarito. Non e' piu pesante in gusto di Chardonnay. L'ho avuto a Sakaya Bic perche ho bisogno di avuto due bottelie per il sconto! Quindi era piu caro, ma e' buono. — a month ago

Confermo tutto quello detto. Moltissima acidità, tannino prorompente. Sapidità. Intenso al naso e in bocca. Ciliegia, prugna, anice stellato. Legno usato benissimo. — 4 years ago

Waxy unctuous but dry. Citrus peel and zest at first then apricot and salty cantaloupe towards the finish. A delightfully dry skin contact pet nat with just a touch of RS. — 4 years ago

E’ il tipico di Sauvignon blanc secondo me. E’ il mio favarito piu di New Zealand. E’ perfetto con pesci freschi, come calpaccio di fluke o sashimi. Lo vorrei prendere un paio di botteglia se hanno ancora il sconto. — 6 years ago

E’ il mio favarito certamente. Ha un fumo bello e il gusto delicioso. Nero berry, unpo dolce ma non e’ come botteglie americane. Non posso fermare bere, magari che possi avere con il prezzo sotto 20 (ma e’ impossibile pur troppo, so che e’ 40). — 6 years ago

D8. Tasted off the menu at Tutto Gusto. This is a red fruited monster. Lots of red cherry, raspberry, hint of black cherry. You know where this one is going in the next 10 years. Has a lot of herb and cola influence in the middle. Finishes with some stiff tannin, which tells you that this one is not going anywhere for awhile. Lots of very good stiff oak influence. Nice. — 7 years ago

C'è tutto: naso con sambuco e frutto della passione, bocca con acidità. Può durare nel tempo e allora conservo qualche bottiglia 😝 — 10 years ago

Takara — Mio Sparkling Sake — Japan 🇯🇵

Overview
A lightly sparkling sake crafted in a modern, approachable style, designed to highlight freshness, gentle sweetness, and aromatic lift. With a low 5% ABV, Mio offers a soft, easygoing expression that bridges the gap between traditional sake and sparkling wine.

Aromas & Flavors
Delicate notes of white peach, pear, melon, and subtle floral tones, with a light rice-driven sweetness and clean aromatic profile.

Mouthfeel
Light-bodied with fine, soft bubbles and a smooth, off-dry texture. The low alcohol and gentle effervescence create a mellow, refreshing feel with a clean, easy finish.

Food Pairings
Sushi, sashimi, tempura, light appetizers, or as an aperitif. Particularly effective at opening a meal.

Verdict
An approachable and enjoyable sparkling sake that delivers freshness, softness, and aromatic charm. Ideal as a light, food-friendly starter.

🍶 Did You Know?
Sparkling sake like Mio is often crafted with lower alcohol and slight residual sugar, making it more approachable and similar in feel to lightly sparkling wines such as Moscato d’Asti.

🍷 Personal Pick
Completely out of my comfort zone, and a pleasant surprise. It set the tone perfectly for a Japanese meal, offering a soft, aromatic, and refreshing start before transitioning into white wines.
