Kanadel Pizzicato
Pizzicato is a unique sake named after a musical term that suggests a lively, bouncing character. It’s made using a low-alcohol brewing method, preserving the essence of traditional sake while offering a lighter experience. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, it’s milder than regular Japanese sake. The flavor is gently sweet, slightly acidic, and lightly carbonated, creating a refreshing sensation on the tongue. Pizzicato pairs well with aperitifs or light appetizers, making it a crisp and elegant choice to start a meal.
