Product details
Juyondai Nakadori Jo Morohaku Banshu Yamadanishiki is an icon of Japanese craftsmanship, created by the legendary Takagi Shuzo, a name synonymous with rarity, precision, and prestige. This exceptional release is made exclusively from “Special A” Banshu Yamadanishiki grown in Hyogo Prefecture, a region celebrated for its ideal climate and soils for cultivating this elite rice variety. The Jo Morohaku approach, in which both rice components are polished to the same exceptionally high level, is rarely employed and demands extraordinary skill and patience. Only the Nakadori portion—the most refined and balanced part drawn from the heart of the process—is selected, resulting in unparalleled purity, elegance, and consistency. Produced in extremely limited quantities, this bottling represents the pinnacle of the Juyondai philosophy and is revered by collectors worldwide.
On the palate, it opens with beautifully perfumed aromatics, revealing fresh notes of melon, green apple, and white peach. The texture is remarkably smooth and seamless, delivering layered depth with a gentle savory richness that enhances complexity without heaviness. Flavors glide effortlessly across the palate, supported by impeccable balance and a pristine, lingering finish that feels both refined and expansive. Exceptionally versatile at the table, it complements sashimi, oysters, and fine cheeses, where its elegance and precision truly shine.
