Product details
A flagship cuvée from a producer rooted in Hyogo’s Yokawa terroir, this expression celebrates over a century of local collaboration and a singular commitment to quality. It is crafted exclusively from large-grain Yamada Nishiki harvested in the region’s Special-A (grand cru) plots and milled down to 39% to reveal extraordinary purity. The house draws on the famed Miyamizu spring water and employs a careful, low-oxygen pressing method using a Yabuta press to preserve delicate aromatics and clarity. The result is an elegant, finely presented bottle that marries precision with a sense of place — refined, ceremonial, and meant for moments when detail and provenance matter.
On the palate it opens with a bright, effervescent acidity that instantly snaps to attention, then flows into a rich, satin-smooth midsection and a focused, lingering finish edged by a pleasant, tightening bitterness. Aromas are floral-fruited and expansive, giving way to a refined sweetness that pivots into lively citrusy acidity; the back palate reveals an intense umami that amplifies accompanying flavors. Exceptionally food-friendly, it elevates delicate carpaccio (including preparations accented with shiso or green herbs), dry-cured ham, and a variety of cheeses — an ideal choice for toasts and refined pairings.
