Product details
Shaped by a lineage devoted to precision and quiet innovation, this release celebrates one of Japan’s oldest and most distinctive heritage grains. The creators work with a warm, slow transformation process that draws out the grain’s natural depth, resulting in a profile that is broad, soft, and expressive. Known for its long, wild-origin shape and storied past, the grain imparts a plush, almost enveloping presence that fills every corner of the palate. Subtle earthy notes gently transition into richer layers, offering a sense of grounded elegance and understated power. The overall impression is one of restrained luxury — complex yet unforced, traditional yet exploratory.
The aroma begins softly, offering hints of fresh greenery, grains, and delicate botanical tones. With the first sip comes a lively, natural tingle, followed by bright fruit accents and the pleasant bitterness of citrus peel. These elements weave together to highlight the grain’s signature savory depth, balancing freshness with an anchored, quietly robust character. As the profile evolves, the fullness becomes more pronounced, while the finish remains clean and subtly lingering. Best enjoyed chilled; pairs beautifully with white fish meunière topped with a light, aromatic sauce.
