Sparkling sake has recently been gaining popularity, especially among young women.

With a light carbonation similar to Champagne, as well as a lower alcohol content — about 15 percent — than regular sake, sparkling sake is an attractive option for those looking to try sake. Sleek and chic bottle designs are particularly appealing to fashion-conscious women.

Much like wines, sparkling sake tastes are roughly divided into dry, tasting much like regular sake, and sweet, with flavors more like that of Champagne.
