WINE MAKING PROCESS
Jozen Sparkling is produced by Shirataki Sake Brewery using premium sake rice varietals, including Yamada Nishiki and Gohyaku Mangoku. The brewing process utilizes the natural mineral water from Niigata Prefecture. To achieve its sparkling nature, the sake undergoes a secondary fermentation, creating its characteristic effervescence. The wine is then filtered to ensure clarity and is best enjoyed fresh to preserve its lively qualities.
