Shirakabegura “Mio” Crisp
Kyoto prefecture
The bestselling sparkling sake, reimagined
The world’s bestselling sparkling sake, Shirakabegura “Mio,” has been given new life. “Mio” Crisp is a more refreshing, light-tasting sake that has a less pronounced sweetness than the original. Flavors of melon, lemon and cream are accompanied by an equally creamy texture. Serve this crowd-pleasing bubbly at your next special occasion, or try “Mio” and “Mio” Crisp side by side to taste the difference.
