Masumi Sparkling Junmai Ginjo

The art of clear, flowing elegant bubbles in a glass, revealing a refined rice aroma.

In J Passport, we only believe in quality alcohol.

Finally, we are happy to introduce what are always sourcing for, a sparkling yet traditional sake from a pioneer sake brewery, courtesy from Nagano Prefecture government.

Most sparkling sake from Japan are artificially carbonated, or with a cloudy appearance. However Masumi Sparkling Sake takes a step more to ensure its quality and taste.

Taking modern trends to the world, from the oldest brewery in Nagano

By Masumi Brewery with over 360 years of brewing experience.

It takes on the modern sake trend by combining centuries-old techniques from the wine and the sake worlds.

A sake, processed exactly like champagne

The clear appearance, fine bubbles like champagne but crisp acidity with the mild sweetness and deep umami of sake.

Masumi Sparkling Sake is a success, and very well received in the US and Europe market!

In Singapore, it is currently only supplied to a few Michelin star restaurants.

With the connection from Nagano Prefecture government and the supplier, we are only able to limited stocks for our members to purchase.

Highly reviewed in Japan too!

"Fizzy like champagne, but the flavor is rice, not grapes, so it goes well with hot pots and any other Japanese food. Very Easy to drink."

"I was like, "Is this sake?" very surprised.
I have the impression that this is a sake that has stepped into a completely new realm."

Fine bubbles and wine-like acidity

Its mélange of fine bubbles and wine-like acidity with sake's savory umami and lactic notes breaks free from traditional pairings.

It goes equally well with western favorites like raw oysters or aged cheese, and with Japanese cuisine from sashimi to salt-grilled fish.

Offered in extremely limited quantities, perfect for black-tie occasions and special celebrations.

Award Winning, Certified

Masumi Sparkling is awarded Platinum in 2018 Sake Selection by Concours Mondial de Bruxelles's Sparkling Sake Division.

Masumi Sparkling is also certified by the Japan Awasake Association, which aims to clearly distinguish quality sparkling sake from the many sparkling sakes found in Japan.

Only sakes complying to strict association standards - clear and transparent sake with natural sparkling from secondary fermentation, using selected rice, water, and malted rice can be certified.

Resealable, retaining bubbling properties

Masumi Sparkling comes with a reusable cork ZORK, a new alternative to classic cork.

It is proven to provide more quality closure for quality wines and champagnes, while keeping the conventional "pop" of a cork.

Key to Quality Sake

Where we are is who we are

Masumi sake is at heart a product of our place and the people who live here. That place is known as Suwa, a highland basin surrounded by the Yatsugatake “Eight Peaks” Range, Mount Tateshina, and the Kirigamine Highlands.

Our sake benefits directly from the region’s clean air, pure water, and long cold winters.

The water is naturally filtered through the mountains and drawn directly from the wells. Water is low in minerals and imparts a soft, light, and flavorful character to the sakes.

We believe sake is the joint creation of sake makers and rice farmers, so we use only newly harvested rice of highest quality from trusted farmers.

By 2019, Masumi Brewery is committed to returning to the roots by using only our own, proprietary strains of the Number Seven Yeast, with highly experienced and skilled team.

About Masumi Brewery

Brewed by the Miyasaka family since 1662

There were mountain highs and valley lows, but honestly some of the valleys were long during our 360 years of brewing. Nevertheless, each generation of the brewing family loved what they did, and so it is today, too.

Mission

Connecting people with high-quality, food-friendly sake.

Gathering around a dinner table is one of the most important ways that people stay connected. Our role is to provide the high-quality sake that brings people and their food together.

Making sake that expresses the environment from which it came.
Operating breweries that are kind to nature.

Sake is tied to its surroundings. This earth and air give rise to this water and rice, and these nurture the microbes that create the sake of this place. We brew in ways that appreciate and protect the natural blessings of Nagano's alpine environment.

Honoring tradition by embracing the future.

The centuries-long tradition of constantly improving techniques and tastes has made sake one of the treasures of Japanese culture. We continue to pass along our 360 years of brewing experience while always seeking new paths to sake's future.
