Product details
Rooted in the snowy lands of Niigata, this creation from Koshino Kanchubai embodies over a century of craftsmanship and refinement. The producer, founded in 1907 and guided by a pursuit of clarity and balance, draws on pristine mountain water and locally grown Gohyakumangoku rice to express the quiet elegance of its region. The “Silver” label represents the house’s dedication to subtlety—offering an experience that is smooth, graceful, and approachable, capturing the harmony between gentle fruit nuance and the natural depth of polished rice. Its versatility and clean structure make it a favorite across diverse dining settings and cultures.
Soft and inviting, the aroma opens with delicate touches of banana and citrus, followed by a refined undertone reminiscent of freshly steamed rice. The texture glides smoothly across the palate, light yet flavorful, with a pleasing sense of purity that lingers through the finish. Whether enjoyed gently warmed or perfectly chilled, it reveals a refreshing balance that pairs effortlessly with yakitori, tempura, grilled fish, sashimi, soba, or even unexpected companions like salted fried snacks and sharp cheddar—an expression of Niigata’s artistry that transcends borders and seasons.
