Product details
Born in the lush, storm-touched landscapes of Kochi in southwestern Japan, this rare creation is defined by both innovation and place. It is crafted using the exclusive Cel-24 yeast strain—licensed for use only within Kochi Prefecture—and stands as one of the original expressions made with this remarkable yeast since its development in the late 1990s. The combination of Cel-24’s naturally aromatic nature and Kochi’s rugged environment, where resilient rice varieties such as Tosa Urara and Gin No Yume thrive against strong coastal winds, gives rise to a character unlike any other. Every detail, from ingredient selection to the slow, patient crafting process, reflects a deep respect for both modern ingenuity and regional authenticity.
With a bright, fruit-laced fragrance and a lively palate, it unfolds in layers of green apple, pear, and delicate white florals. The texture is clean and graceful, with a crisp finish that lingers lightly. Refreshing and expressive, it shines when gently chilled, its flavors gliding effortlessly alongside dishes such as cheese, lobster rolls, tempura, pizza, or vibrant summer salads. Each sip captures the spirit of Kochi’s natural vitality—fresh, modern, and full of quiet adventure.
