Product details
This expression emerges from a revered family tradition rooted in Yamagata Prefecture, where a multi-century legacy and a spirit of innovation converge. Crafted using the house-developed “Sake Mirai” grain—cultivated especially for its purity—and polished to a mere 35% of its original form, it represents the pinnacle of refinement. The process emphasizes maximal clarity and delicacy, with the result known for its crystalline profile and limited availability—a statement of exclusivity and prestige within the broader portfolio of this illustrious producer.
On approach, the bouquet is lifted and crystalline, presenting bright notes of honeydew melon, Fuji apple, and ripe pear, with a teasing whisper of banana candy that never overtakes the balance. The palate is extraordinarily clean yet supple—silky in texture, with gentle sweetness buoyed by a poised acidity, and a faint mineral edge evolving toward a long, elegant finish. Together, these elements unfold into a harmonious sensation that marries lush fruit character with precision and finesse, leaving a lingering impression of subtle clarity and serene depth.
