Product details
Harushika hails from a distinguished producer in Nara, with roots tracing back to 1884 and an even deeper connection through ceremonial offerings at the local shrine. The name, meaning “Spring Deer,” symbolizes both reverence and harmony with the natural surroundings. Utilizing premium rice varieties such as Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku, polished to 60%, this expression emphasizes clarity and purity while expressing a refined, gentle character.
This release presents a fragrant bouquet of orchard and tropical fruits—green apple, pear, and lychee—layered with floral sweetness. On the palate, it is juicy and mild, with a creamy and savory flavor of rice that unfolds into a refreshing finish. The silky texture and mineral-tinged impression highlight its elegance. It pairs beautifully with delicate sea-based appetizers, light dishes, or even a cheese-and-fruit platter for a harmonious dining experience.
