Aramasa Annual Fermentation Report 2026 Part III (Earth Usunigori Sparkling & Yamabuki Clear Sparkling)【新政 頒布会 2026 PART III 素晴らしき酒米の世界 産土 うすにごりスパーク & 山吹 クリアスパーク】

“Earth Usunigori Sparkling” is presented in a lightly cloudy Usunigori style, with fine sake lees giving the body a smooth texture and abundant umami. Combined with naturally lively bubbles, refreshing acidity, and gentle sweetness, the palate is vibrant and juicy, revealing rich layers of lactic character intertwined with delicate rice aromas.

“Yamabuki Clear Sparkling,” by contrast, centers on a crystal-clear sake profile. Fine bubbles unfold lightly across the palate, accompanied by bright fruit aromas, refreshing acidity, and a crisp finish, creating a purer and lighter overall expression.

One lightly cloudy and the other clear, one soft and rounded and the other crisp and refreshing, these two releases reveal distinctly different expressions of their respective sake rice through vibrant natural effervescence. Together, they showcase Aramasa’s continuing exploration of traditional sake rice, natural fermentation, and contemporary sparkling sake styles, making this one of the most experimental and collectible limited sets in the 2026 annual release series.

“Aramasa Annual Fermentation Report 2026 Part III: The Wonderful World of Sake Rice,” the third installment in the series, features two distinctive limited sparkling releases: “Earth Usunigori Sparkling” and “Yamabuki Clear Sparkling.” Through different sake rice varieties and contrasting sake profiles, the set explores Aramasa’s pursuit of natural brewing and the individual character of sake rice.
