Product details
Rooted in a philosophy of place and precision, this elegant expression is produced by a house celebrated for its patient attention to each detail of production. The makers source exceptional rice and clear spring water from their region, then guide the process with a steady, restrained hand to produce a result defined by clarity and refinement. The overall character is polished and layered: fruit-forward yet grounded, with creamy and vibrant top notes that evoke ripe melon and soft peach set against a gentle, toasty earthiness. On aeration the aroma opens further, revealing a delicate mushroom nuance that adds depth and complexity.
On the palate, the experience is bright and finely balanced — fresh, soft acidity washes across the mouth before the flavors settle into a harmonious interplay of fruit, cream, and savory rice umami. Pineapple-like sweetness and melon/peach fruit combine with a subtle toasty backbone to create a rich, rounded mid-palate; the finish offers a refined bittersweet echo reminiscent of green tea matcha and a soft, lingering sweetness like coconut. Best served: chilled. Food pairing: seafood gratin, mushroom dishes, potato puree.
