Product details
Heiwa KID Hiyaoroshi Junmai Ginjo “Gohyakumangoku” is a seasonal autumn release from Heiwa Shuzou, a respected producer in Wakayama celebrated for its pure spring water and elegant, food-friendly creations. Crafted with Gohyakumangoku rice and carefully matured through the warmer months after a single gentle heat treatment, this limited seasonal expression develops a smooth, rounded profile that captures the calm richness of fall. The brewery’s famously soft water gives the texture a delicate, pillowy character, while the balance between fruit-driven aromatics and savory rice tones highlights the refined personality of the KID series. Released only once each year, this autumn favorite is highly sought after for its seasonal charm and graceful depth.
The palate opens with soft impressions of ripe banana, crisp apple, and steamed rice, layered with subtle savory undertones and a mellow, polished finish. Its texture is silky and comforting, offering a harmonious balance between gentle sweetness and refreshing lift. The seasonal aging process smooths out sharper edges, creating a calm and rounded drinking experience that pairs beautifully with autumn seafood, roasted vegetables, mushrooms, and comforting seasonal dishes. Best enjoyed lightly chilled to showcase its elegant aroma, soft mouthfeel, and lingering orchard-fruit character.
