Product details
The story behind this offering begins with the brand’s deep connection to nature and the freshness of winter’s first yield—capturing that crisp moment when the season’s earliest batch is released. Drawing from snow-fed water sources and selected rice varieties, the makers embrace a fresh, clean expression marked by clarity and vitality. The result is a brilliantly light-bodied creation with the lively personality of an early-release product: bright, breathable, and artfully balanced, it offers a refreshing take on tradition while remaining rooted in craftsmanship.
On the nose, you’ll encounter a cool, sharp presence—an invigorating aroma that immediately suggests brisk air and polished simplicity. The palate follows with a crisp, dry line and a light-bodied structure, carrying subtle hints of pear and green apple before finishing with a brisk, clean edge. Whether paired with steak, yakitori, ramen, beef stew, pizza or paella, the piece shines through its invigorating character and spring-awake freshness.
