Product details
Azuma no Fumoto Nandodemo C is a forward-thinking creation from Azuma no Fumoto Shuzo, a historic producer nestled in Yamagata Prefecture and known for honoring regional rice culture while embracing modern ideas. This special release was developed in collaboration with students from Tohoku University of Technology, blending youthful creativity with generations of craftsmanship. The name “Nandodemo °C” translates to “delicious at any temperature,” reflecting its unique concept: a refined rice expression designed to shine whether gently chilled, at room temperature, or lightly warmed. Crafted in a clean, slightly dry style, it delivers clarity, balance, and versatility—making it an excellent introduction for newcomers while still offering depth for seasoned enthusiasts.
On the palate, this bottling is smooth, refreshing, and elegantly structured. Subtle notes of steamed rice, crisp pear, and delicate floral hints unfold with a light, dry finish that feels polished and precise. When served cool, it highlights bright fruit tones and a lively texture; at room temperature, it reveals a rounder mouthfeel with soft umami nuances; gently warmed, it becomes more savory and comforting without losing freshness. Its well-rounded profile pairs beautifully with flounder or kochi sashimi, braised bonito, sea urchin mousse, yellowtail teriyaki, creamy gratin, pasta dishes, deep-fried white fish, and Chinese-style stir-fries such as pork with green peppers or mixed seafood. A truly versatile table companion, Azuma no Fumoto Nandodemo C invites you to explore how temperature transforms flavor.
