Product details
Kikusui represents a remarkable journey of dedication and vision, rooted in the passion to honor an almost-lost strain of Japanese rice bearing the same name. Once thought extinct, this historic variety was revived through years of persistence, beginning with just a handful of grains and guided by a deep respect for tradition and nature. The result is a refined flagship expression that reflects both legacy and ambition, capturing the full potential of this rare rice. Carefully refined and patiently prepared, it offers a rich yet graceful character, created to celebrate meaningful moments and elevate everyday occasions alike. Enjoyed lightly chilled, it reveals the depth and elegance that define Kikusui’s long-held dream.
The aroma opens with a clean, polished profile that feels soft and inviting, followed by subtle hints of fruit and gentle sweetness. On the palate, the texture is smooth and composed, unfolding with a rounded, full-bodied presence that remains balanced and poised. Natural dryness adds structure, allowing the rice-driven flavors to linger without heaviness. The finish is calm and satisfying, making each sip feel deliberate and complete. This refined profile pairs especially well with fried white fish or fresh sashimi, enhancing delicate flavors while maintaining its own quiet confidence.
