This is a lightly cloudy sparkling sake. When properly chilled and stored upright, it is unlikely to overflow upon opening—recommended to refrigerate and let it rest immediately after receiving. On the palate, it is light and smooth, with a gentle, soft entry that reveals mild umami. The ginjo aroma is subtle and elegant, while the bubbles are naturally fine, providing a refreshing lift. The overall profile flows seamlessly like a smooth arc, achieving a beautifully balanced expression.
Mori no Brewery specializes in crafting sparkling sake, using only organically grown “Nanatsuboshi” rice from Rankoshi, Hokkaido. Rooted in the local natural environment, every step—from ingredient selection and brewing design to maturation and final expression—is approached without mass production in mind. Each bottle is treated as a work of art, aiming for delicate bubbles, clarity, and a style that resonates harmoniously with food.
Described on the brewery’s official site as resembling snow falling into a glass—when winter arrives in the northern forests, this sparkling sake conveys the quiet message of the season’s first snowfall. Fine lees dance with the bubbles in the glass, like soft powder snow drifting outside the window. “UPAS” serves as the gateway to Mori no Brewery, and the starting point to a new world of sake.
