Norakura Raro Frizzante Aromatico 2025
A pet-nat from the couple who helped kick-start Hokkaido's natural wine scene, made from Niagara and Kerner, bottled mid-ferment.
Grape varietal & region: a 50/50 blend of Niagara (an American table grape) and Kerner, grown on Norakura's 3 hectares in Hokuto, near Hakodate, Hokkaido — one of Japan's coolest wine-growing regions and, thanks to Norakura, one of its liveliest natural wine scenes. The winery was founded in 2012 by husband-and-wife team Ken and Kazuko Sasaki, tucked into a converted building in Hakodate's historic Motomachi district, at the foot of the city's famous night-view mountain. Total production across the whole winery runs to roughly 12,000 bottles a year; Raro Frizzante Aromatico is a small slice of that, around 3,000 bottles.
Taste profile: fresh and aromatic, with a natural spritz that comes from bottling mid-fermentation rather than forced carbonation — no added sugar, no dosage, just whatever fizz the yeast leaves behind. Dry, lively and food-friendly, at a light 9% ABV; a genuinely great table wine rather than an occasion-only pour.
Winemaking process: hand-farmed with natural methods, wild yeast fermentation only, unfiltered, no added sulphites. The wine is bottled while still actively fermenting, capturing the CO2 naturally — a classic pet-nat approach — which locks in fresh fruit character alongside the fizz.
Winemaker: Ken Sasaki trained at Domaine Leflaive in Burgundy, Domaine Binner in Alsace and David Leclapart in Champagne, and holds a winemaking diploma from the University of Burgundy; his wife and co-winemaker Kazuko Sasaki studied oenology in Tokyo, worked a winery in Kobe, then spent four years training in France herself — including stints at Domaine Parent, Chapoutier and Domaine Sylvain Pataille — earning her own national oenologist diploma. Between them they brought a genuinely Burgundian rigour home to Hokkaido, applied to a very different, much wilder set of grapes.
