Product details
A family-rooted brand born from a deep appreciation for Japanese artisanal craft, this expression is made by dedicated artisans with the drinker in mind. Every step is guided by a pursuit of balance: bright, clean flavors framed in a full, satisfying body that still feels approachable. The result is a refined, bottle-aged offering that sits confidently between rustic depth and polished elegance — rich enough to be the focus of a tasting yet versatile enough to accompany a meal. Its production emphasizes patience, hands-on care, and selection of high-quality ingredients to create a product meant for both collecting and everyday enjoyment.
Visually clear with a very faint silvery-straw cast, the aroma opens with bright, inviting notes of banana-spice cookie, coconut custard and green pineapple husk. The palate is soft and creamy yet dry-yet-fruity, carrying medium-to-full weight and a pleasing umami drive; layers of silkiness and honeyed texture lead to a lingering, silky finish. Earthy and full-bodied without heaviness, it pairs beautifully with boiled pork, smoked salmon, cheese, oden, tripe stew, karaage (fried chicken), tempura, yakitori, sushi and sashimi — dishes where its savory depth and clean finish can truly shine.
