Product details
From the hills where Heiwa tends its own Yamadanishiki, this expression reflects a commitment to provenance and careful stewardship of raw material. The producer marries estate-grown rice with patient, low-temperature production to preserve aromatic lift while coaxing out complex depth. The result is a polished, balanced offering with a striking interplay between bright, tropical top notes and a measured, lingering core — elegant and focused, yet notably expressive. Best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, it presents as a refined table companion rather than an attention-seeking pour.
On the palate it opens with lively tropical scents — think ripe pineapple and citrus blossom — that lead into a plush, silky mouthfeel. A clean, bright acidity brings clarity and momentum, while a rounded, savory grain richness supplies depth and a satisfying finish. The overall impression is both refreshing and substantial, making it an ideal match for miso-glazed black cod, creamy cheeses, or simply grilled mackerel.
