Product details
Crafted by Hiraizumi Honpo in Akita, where icy northern winds shape the land and tradition endures through the seasons, this expression captures the soul of time-honored artistry. Created through the Yamahai method—a patient four-week process that allows natural fermentation to develop slowly—it reveals a depth and harmony rarely found in modern styles. The result balances refinement and complexity, combining the elegant character of Ginjo-grade craftsmanship with the earthy richness that defines Akita’s regional style. Every step, from nurturing the starter culture to achieving perfect equilibrium of texture and aroma, reflects a devotion to detail and an unwavering respect for tradition.
The profile is bold yet nuanced, unfolding in layers of ripe fruit, gentle sweetness, and vibrant acidity. Beneath its smooth surface lies a savory richness and subtle earthiness, creating a sense of depth and warmth. It pairs beautifully with grilled fish, tender lamb chops, creamy mashed potatoes, or savory yakitori. Enjoy it chilled for clarity and freshness, or gently warmed to reveal its rounder, comforting character—each temperature highlighting a different facet of its expressive nature.
