In Japanese, “mio” means the flow of shallow water or the traces of foam that emerge gently in a ship’s wake.We chose the name MIO to represent our enthusiasm to create new waves in the world of sake. In doing so, we related the meaning “shallow” to its low alcohol content, and the traces of foam to sparkling liquor. And in Italian, “mio” means “my.”
The name MIO also represents our wish that MIO will become “my” favorite sake for many people.
It features a flavor reminiscent of Muscat grapes, with subtle sweetness and soft acidity spreading in the mouth.
