Product details
This is a distinguished offering from the Nagano-based Kikusui Brewery, known for its century-long dedication to producing exceptional beverages. This particular creation is made using the premium Nagano rice varietal, Takane-Nishiki. The unique processing method, known as Namachozo, involves a single pasteurization process, resulting in a beverage that maintains a fresh and vibrant character. This approach harmonizes the product with a diverse range of culinary dishes, showcasing the brewery's commitment to quality and innovation.
Upon tasting, this product presents a clean and crisp initial impression, followed by a subtle umami that lingers on the palate. The light and refreshing flavor profile makes it an excellent companion to various dishes, including stir-fried leafy greens, tempura, and seafood. Best enjoyed when served chilled, this beverage offers a delightful balance that enhances the dining experience.
