Product details
Hakushika Gold Namachozo is created by one of Japan’s most storied houses, whose history stretches back to the Edo period in Hyōgo Prefecture, a region renowned for pristine water and high-quality rice. This Gold expression represents refinement and elegance, crafted through careful grain polishing and maturation at low temperatures, followed by a final gentle heating before bottling. The result is a pure and fresh character that has earned its place as a favorite among both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts alike.
On the nose, it opens with bright aromas of melon, ripe pear, and delicate floral tones, underpinned by a graceful rice-derived sweetness. The palate offers a satin-smooth texture with balanced acidity, creamy rice notes, and a subtle layer of umami richness. The finish is crisp, clean, and lightly dry, leaving a refreshing clarity. Enjoy it chilled to highlight its floral and fruit layers, or lightly warmed to bring out its richer texture. Perfect alongside sushi, sashimi, shellfish, mild cheeses, or simply prepared vegetable dishes.
