Product details
Born Tokusen Echizen Special Selection is a signature release that represents the pinnacle of the Born brand’s refined style and long-term vision. Crafted using contract-grown Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture’s prestigious Special A districts, the grains are polished down to an exceptional level before careful brewing and extended ice-temperature maturation below freezing for up to two years. This patient aging process enhances clarity, depth, and harmony, resulting in a release that is both expressive and composed. Regarded as a flagship classic within the Born portfolio, this selection embodies elegance, precision, and a luxurious sense of balance that has earned enduring acclaim.
The tasting experience is polished and confident, opening with a graceful, mature aroma reminiscent of fresh grapefruit. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied, satin-like texture with impressive structure and depth, combining smoothness with a quietly powerful core. The flavor profile is rich yet refined, unfolding slowly and finishing clean with lingering sophistication. Its poised character makes it especially well suited to delicately prepared Japanese cuisine, as well as dishes featuring butter, cheese, or olive oil, where its depth and smoothness complement without overpowering.
