Product details
Born in the coastal town of Takehara in Hiroshima Prefecture, this expression reflects both heritage and harmony. The makers, based in a city once famed for its salt production, have carried forward centuries of craftsmanship shaped by the region’s soft water and serene maritime climate. True to the “kirei” style that defines Hiroshima—meaning both “clean” and “beautiful”—it captures an understated elegance, where restraint becomes its greatest charm. Delicate and quietly expressive, it honors the spirit of its birthplace while showcasing the refinement that time and patience bring.
The profile is light and graceful, unfolding with hints of fresh green apple and subtle orchard fruit that echo through a crisp, pure texture. Its calm demeanor allows each layer to reveal itself gently, finishing with clarity and poise. Best enjoyed chilled, it complements dishes such as tuna steak, tempura, or grilled skewers, enhancing their flavors with its bright, refreshing balance and the quiet sophistication that marks every sip.
