Product details
Kaika Tobindori Shizuku Junmai Daiginjo Genshu is an elegant, carefully crafted expression from Daiichi Shuzo, a historic producer established in Tochigi Prefecture in 1673. With more than 350 years of heritage, the house has a longstanding connection to the region's traditions and craftsmanship. This special Tobin Shizuku expression is distinguished by its traditional drip-collection process, in which the carefully prepared liquid is allowed to collect naturally, without conventional pressing. This meticulous approach highlights the refined character of the selected rice and results in an exceptionally elegant expression with a soft, rounded texture.
The tasting profile opens with inviting fruity aromas reminiscent of ripe green apple and pear. On the palate, elegant sweetness is beautifully balanced by refreshing, crisp acidity, creating a smooth, gently viscous texture and a soft, lingering finish. Its delicate fruit character and refreshing balance complement fresh seafood particularly well, including raw oysters with lemon, marinated scallops, octopus carpaccio, and seafood salad.
