About "Shine! Sparkling"
Yamato Winery’s "Shine! Sparkling."
Let us share its appeal with you.
Features of "Shine! Sparkling"
"Shine! Sparkling" is characterized by its impactful name.
The green wine bottle and label design that evokes a Japanese modern style catch the eye, giving it a stylish presence.
"Shine! Sparkling" is a white sparkling wine, but the grape varieties used are Shine Muscat, Koshu, and the black grape variety Muscat Bailey A.
It may be surprising, but even in Champagne, Pinot Noir is used as a raw material, and by removing the skins of black grapes and fermenting only the juice, a "white" sparkling wine can be produced.
The biggest feature of "Shine! Sparkling," as the name suggests, is that it uses Shine Muscat as a raw material for the wine.

Yamato Winery’s bold idea to lavishly use the highly regarded Shine Muscat, a premium table grape, in wine-making stirs the drinker’s heart.
While you can enjoy the fruity and refreshing Muscat aroma, the taste is dry and refined rather than sticky sweet.
The finish is a gentle, charming, and easy-to-drink Japanese wine style with a sweetness reminiscent of cotton candy unique to Muscat Bailey A.
The elegant aroma and sweetness of Shine Muscat fruit, refreshing acidity and bubbles, and dry taste make it easy to pair with a wide variety of dishes, so you can enjoy it casually without worrying about pairing.

A delightful bottle you can use daily!
The appeal of "Shine! Sparkling" is not just its great taste.
First, it’s a 750ml size priced in the 1,000 yen range.
When you hear "rare Japanese wine" and "sparkling wine," you might imagine a high price, but at just over 1,000 yen, you can pick it up without hesitation.
It’s a valuable bottle that shines for weekend dinners, holiday lunches, and everyday meals alike.
Of course, despite its casual price range, the wine itself is high quality.
This bottle satisfies everyone from wine beginners to Japanese wine lovers, making it easy to use for wine gatherings, parties, or BYO at your favorite restaurants.
One recommended use for "Shine! Sparkling" is in the increasingly popular outdoor scenes in recent years.
"Shine! Sparkling," which stands out at camps, barbecues, and festivals, will lift your spirits even higher.
With its wide pairing range, it goes well with grilled camp meals, fried foods, festival foods, and virtually any dish.
Additionally, the cap is a Zork, making it easy for beginners to open and reusable as a wine stopper to maintain quality.
While beer is appealing, for those who want to enjoy something stylish with sparkling wine, "Shine! Sparkling" is recommended.
A bottle you’ll want to enjoy daily and freely.
