Product details
Part of the Joto collection curated to introduce Japanese rice-based fermentation to a wider audience, “The Pink One” is produced by the historic Huchu Homare of Ibaraki, in operation since 1854. The branding features pink and red dots that symbolize the use of two distinct yeast strains, while the silver band denotes elevated quality and elegance. Crafted from carefully polished Chiyonishiki rice and shaped under the guidance of renowned brewer Taka Yamauchi, this expression exemplifies purity, balance, and refined craftsmanship—bright, light, and fruit-forward in profile.
It opens with a fragrant, floral bouquet, carrying inviting hints of peach, melon, and crisp apple. On the palate, it is soft and rounded, with ripe stone fruit tones, refreshing citrusy lift, and a lively, almost sparkling texture. The finish is clean and elegant, with gentle acidity that enhances its refreshing nature. Best served chilled, it pairs seamlessly with light dishes and bright, acidic flavors such as fresh salads, sushi, vinegars, and fish sauces—making it both versatile and refined at the table.
