Champagne’s arch enemy

In preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Hakkaisan Brewery Company introduced “AWA” Clear Sparkling as an alternative for Champagne. It is light, clear and of course, bubbly. The delightful effervescence drops sweet fruit flavor over your palate. We had a blast popping a bottle during the Olympic torch ceremony, but Hakkaisan “AWA” Clear Sparkling can make any occasion a celebration. Who needs champagne anyway?
