Product details
Ken is a refined expression from Suehiro Shuzo, a historic producer rooted in Japan’s Aizu region since 1850. Guided by seven generations of stewardship, this house is celebrated nationwide for its pioneering role in shaping classic Yamahai expressions and for deep ties to local rice growers, reflecting a strong sense of place and community. Set within a nationally protected wooden structure adorned with a traditional sugidama, Suehiro’s legacy is closely intertwined with Aizu’s samurai heritage and cultural history. Ken represents the elegant side of the portfolio, created to showcase purity, balance, and a luxurious, graceful character that honors both tradition and refinement.
On the nose, Ken opens with a beautifully lifted fragrance of ripe melon, pear, and soft peach. The palate is smooth and poised, offering a delicate sweetness balanced by clarity and freshness. Layers unfold gently, leading to an expansive, clean finish that feels polished and lingering. Elegant and composed, it is equally enjoyable on its own or alongside lighter dishes such as classic nigiri, sashimi, or a simple bowl of miso soup, where its subtle nuances can truly shine.
