Product details
Joto The Green One is crafted by the historic Eiko Fuji house, guided by the 13th generation of the Kato family and celebrated for its dedication to traditional rice-based craftsmanship. A key step in producing this style begins with carefully polishing the rice grain, removing outer layers to reveal the pure starch core that contributes to a cleaner and more refined character. The result is a beautifully balanced expression that reflects both heritage and precision. Known for its approachable personality, “The Green One” delivers the richness expected from this classic category while maintaining a bright and inviting profile that appeals to both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts.
On the palate, this expression reveals a fuller body supported by a clean and fruit-forward character. Notes reminiscent of ripe plum unfold alongside gentle grain depth, creating a harmonious balance between richness and freshness. Compared with many examples that lean heavily toward earthy dryness, this version feels more vibrant and polished, finishing with crisp acidity that keeps the experience lively and refreshing. Enjoyed lightly chilled or at room temperature, it pairs wonderfully with nutty cheeses, comforting bowls of ramen, and savory grilled pork dishes.
