Product details
Haccoba Kasu is an innovative creation from haccoba, a craft maker known for transforming overlooked byproducts into refined, expressive beverages. Inspired by a bricolage philosophy, Haccoba reimagines “kasu”—often considered residual material—as a source of character and depth. By fermenting rice together with carefully selected kasu, including Asakura sansho and lemon peel sourced from the beloved Hyogo dining spot TANIGAKI, this release elevates unused resources into a confident, signature product. Enhanced with the aromatic lift of green cardamom and guided by the vibrant activity of white koji and lactic cultures, Haccoba Kasu reflects creativity, sustainability, and bold craftsmanship, now offered as a proud core expression in the lineup.
On the palate, Haccoba Kasu delivers a layered and refreshing profile. Bright citrus zest and lively sansho notes lead the way, supported by a rounded, gently textured acidity that adds volume without sharpness. Subtle spice from green cardamom weaves through the mid-palate, while the rice base provides structure and balance. The finish is clean, energetic, and versatile—equally enjoyable chilled, gently warmed, or even lengthened with sparkling water. Expressive yet harmonious, Haccoba Kasu offers a distinctive tasting experience that challenges expectations and redefines what “kasu” can represent.
