Product details
Founded in 1778 in Tsuruoka City, a renowned hub of craftsmanship in Yamagata Prefecture, this creation reflects the elegance and precision that define the region’s style—light, clean, and delicately expressive. Now led by the 13th-generation Kato family, with Ariyoshi Kato at the helm and head craftsman Kodai Kato, the house continues to balance centuries-old discipline with youthful innovation. Its name, meaning “ten thousand ways,” embodies both the technical and emotional breadth of the craft: the countless variations in yeast, koji, timing, and care that shape each unique expression, as well as the versatility that allows it to be enjoyed across temperatures and cuisines, from delicate fare to richly seasoned dishes.
The experience opens with a restrained and graceful aroma—subtle fruit tones of pear and black currant accented by the clean scent of polished grain. On the palate, it glides smoothly, light yet flavorful, with an airy balance between gentle sweetness and refreshing clarity. A whisper of mineral and fruit lingers toward the finish, leaving a crisp, refreshing impression. Its adaptable nature allows it to harmonize beautifully with everything from bright, acidic salads and sushi to comforting bowls of ramen or grilled meats, embodying the idea that there are truly “ten thousand ways” to enjoy it.
