Product details
Rooted in the fertile lands of Kumamoto, this creation embodies the craftsmanship of the house of Zuiyo, a producer whose legacy traces back to 1867. Brewed with the renowned Kumamoto yeast, it captures the essence of the region’s pure water and polished rice to express a deep, rounded character. Balanced and refined, it was designed to shine across a wide temperature range—from chilled to gently warmed—revealing a layered taste that reflects both precision and tradition. Its versatility makes it equally at home in casual gatherings or refined dining settings.
The experience unfolds with an inviting, mellow fragrance reminiscent of gentle ripeness and soft grains. On the palate, rich umami harmonizes with a smooth, full texture and a hint of maturity. When served cool, it feels crisp and elegant; when warmed, it blossoms into a deeper, more expansive flavor. This well-balanced profile complements a variety of dishes such as fried chicken, yakitori, and richly seasoned Chinese cuisine, enhancing every meal with warmth and depth.
