Shichiken Yama No Kasumi

Yama no Kasumi embodies a sparkling sake that dances between elegance and playful texture. Crafted by Shichiken using mountain-melt water from Mt Kaikoma and rice with deep local roots, it evolves in the bottle through second fermentation to deliver glistening fine bubbles and gentle lees character. The result is both whimsical and refined — like soft mist rising over mountain peaks translated into a sip.

Serve well-chilled (4–6 °C) in a flute or white wine glass to allow the delicate bubbles to rise and aromas to open. Yama no Kasumi pairs beautifully with fresh seafood like oysters, uni or sashimi — the subtle sweetness and effervescence cleanse the palate between bites. It also complements soft cheeses (like camembert), bakery-buttery desserts, or light fruit tarts. For a twist, try it alongside tempura vegetables or light cream-based pasta to contrast the slight fizz and lees-rich body.
