Only in the sense that it's a bastardization of the brew it's based on.

That Sayuri has no carbonation, is only lightly filtered so it's has ricey cloudiness (making it a "Nigori-zake"), and is syurpy-sweet.

Any natural carbonation in a sake would mean the yeast inside would had had to be active for a significant period of time after it was done getting bottled. This would mean it wasn't pasteurized (making it a "Nama-zake"), and for is one that should be decently expensive.

Artificially carbonated sakes exist as well. These so-called "sparkling sakes" are the real alcopops of the sake world. They take shitty, sweetly flavored sake and add artificial carbonation. Done right, they can be the best alcopop you've ever tasted, but it'd still be an alcopop.

even the venerable tsuki no katsura brewery has both a sparkling sake (pic related) and a low-alcohol sake for women.
