Product details
Kinpou Odayaka is a signature expression from Niida-Honke, a producer renowned for its long-standing commitment to natural agriculture and thoughtful craftsmanship. Since 1967, Niida-Honke has dedicated itself to cultivating its own Shizenmai rice on expansive estate farmland, grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. This philosophy of self-sufficiency and respect for the land defines the Kinpou line, which is made entirely from estate-grown rice and carefully guided to preserve purity, balance, and a sense of calm elegance. Odayaka, meaning “gentle” or “peaceful,” reflects the brand’s intention to create a refined, transparent profile that feels natural, expressive, and quietly sophisticated.
The aroma opens with fresh notes of honeydew melon and bright lemon zest, offering a fruity yet clean first impression. On the palate, the texture is smooth and graceful, revealing flavors of ripe golden apple and hints of tart pear skin that add definition and lift. As it develops, a subtle savory character emerges, supported by firm minerality that carries through to a composed, lingering finish. Balanced and nuanced, this expression delivers clarity and depth without heaviness, making it both refreshing and deeply satisfying.
