Product details
This Nakadori Chogoku stands as the pinnacle of Yamagata artistry, representing the latest evolution in the house’s super-premium series, upgraded from Super Tokusen to Chōkyoku. Crafted with the legendary Yamada Nishiki rice—revered for its purity and refinement—it captures the essence of elegance and precision. The “Nakadori” method ensures only the most refined middle portion of the pressing is used, yielding unparalleled clarity and balance. Each release is guided by the producer’s discerning judgment, with bottles only offered once optimal maturation has been achieved, underscoring its rarity and prestige.
This creation opens with an expressive bouquet of honeydew melon, crisp apple, and subtle pear, unfolding into a fragrance that is both bold and delicate. On the palate, a soft sweetness and silky texture expand into layers of fruitiness, creating a smooth yet vibrant impression. The finish is long, graceful, and memorably clean, leaving behind a refreshing afterglow. Its refined character pairs beautifully with tofu, oysters, delicate seafood, white fish, and sashimi, making it an exquisite match for light and elegant cuisine.
