Roughly translated, Sorah means "Aurora Borealis" in Native American. This is a premium Sparkling Sake made in the same method as Champagne, with the technique of 'secondary fermentation' within the bottle, meaning the bubbles are natural. Sorah combines the ancient sake brewing techniques with the new. To contribute to the revitalization of the agricultural economy in their hometown, the majority of Chiyomusubi sake is made using Gohyakuman-goku rice produced in Tottori Prefecture, and pure spring water that runs from the local mountain. With its refreshing note, gentle sweetness of the rice and clean finish, Sorah can be considered as 'Japanese Champagne' with its delicate yet lively bubbles.
Most Sparkling Sake made with secondary fermentation will contain lees that makes it cloudy or a ‘nigori’ but Chiyomsubi Sorah goes through an extra special process that makes it clean and transparent.
