Product details
Founded in 1778 in the snowy landscapes of Yamagata, the Eiko Fuji Brewing Company has been led through 13 generations of the Kato family. Named after Mt. Fuji to symbolize grandeur and widespread admiration, the brand combines time-honored tradition with fresh creativity under Kodai Kato, Japan’s youngest head artisan recognized for his exceptional skill and craftsmanship. His mastery of different rice varieties and methods fuels a creative approach, ensuring each batch is vibrant, precise, and full of character. This Origarami edition is slightly hazy, showcasing finely suspended lees that highlight the natural purity of Miyama Nishiki rice. Undiluted and gently pasteurized just once in the bottle, it delivers a fresh, bright experience that balances elegance with subtle richness.
On the nose, this expression offers gentle notes of honeydew melon and creamy milk punch, creating an inviting, silky impression. The palate is smooth and lively, with hints of soft stone fruit and a whisper of sweetness, enhanced by a sparkling acidity that keeps it refreshing and approachable. The finish is crisp yet gentle, making it versatile for pairing with dishes ranging from ceviche to cheeseburgers, while maintaining a refined, delicate balance that highlights its clarity and natural vibrancy.
