Gekkeikan Utakata Sparkling Sake, 285 ml

Japanese spritzer drinks such as these are a more mature-tasting variation on lemonades and other sodas. Made from a combination of Japanese shochu, soda water, and fruit flavours (either real fruit juices or fruit juice inspired flavourings), spritzers are particularly refreshing when enjoyed straight from the fridge on hot or warm days. Take a look at japancentre.com's Umeshu & Others section for a great range of spritzers and other fruity Japanese alcoholic beverages.
