Product details
This product represents an innovative creation from Tsuji Honten, where the timeless Bodaimoto starter method is carried to new heights. Instead of water, an earlier crafted Bodaimoto expression is used again in the preparation, forming a “Bodaimoto × Bodaimoto” process that enhances depth and richness. Combined with Omachi, Japan’s oldest native rice variety, this approach yields a dense yet graceful character, with layered sweetness and acidity that reflect the unique identity of both grain and tradition. The result is a velvety texture with elegant balance, expressing the producer’s pursuit of complexity and refinement.
The experience begins with a gentle, smooth mouthfeel that soon unfolds into soft sweetness reminiscent of muscat grapes, harmonized with mellow citrus acidity. This interplay creates a calm, sophisticated impression, while the Bodaimoto influence introduces a subtle tang that keeps the richness lively. Compared with the usual dessert-style Kijoshu, this expression stands apart with its sweet-tart balance, closer to the essence of natural yeast flavors. Notes of ripe fruit, delicate creaminess, and a clean finish bring both indulgence and clarity, making it a distinctive and memorable creation.
