Product details
This refined creation originates from a historic house in Yamagata, Japan, known for its dedication to precision and regional craftsmanship. Made exclusively with the local Sasanishiki rice, it reflects the natural character of the region’s climate and soil. The producers intentionally avoid charcoal filtration, allowing the liquid to retain its natural amber hue and soft golden glow. Aged in traditional cedar barrels, it develops depth and structure, balancing clarity with richness. Guided by the philosophy that “this is how true flavor should be,” it represents a pure and uncompromising expression of craftsmanship.
On the palate, it opens with a distinctly dry impression, delivering a crisp and structured taste experience. Hints of cedar from barrel aging mingle with a subtle grain-driven warmth, creating both complexity and restraint. The mid-palate reveals savory, earthy nuances that evolve into a clean, razor-sharp finish with remarkable clarity. Perfectly suited for pairings such as sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, steak yakitori, hibachi, or BBQ, it complements hearty dishes while maintaining poise and balance throughout the experience.
