Product details
Makiri Extra Dry is a striking expression from the coastal city of Sakata in northern Japan, a region known for its discipline, purity, and dedication to tradition. Created with an old-world, labor-intensive approach that only a few producers still follow today, Makiri emphasizes natural balance, depth, and clarity without excess. This release stands out for achieving an exceptionally dry profile while maintaining poise and harmony, a rare accomplishment at this level of refinement. Every element is guided by patience and precision, resulting in a clean, focused character that reflects both regional heritage and uncompromising craftsmanship.
The aroma is subtle and elegant, offering gentle notes of melon and polished rice. On the palate, the profile is crisp and sharply defined, with pronounced dryness balanced by soft acidity that keeps each sip fresh and controlled. The texture is smooth yet precise, leading to a clean, refreshing finish that resets the palate effortlessly. Its sharp definition and purity make it highly versatile at the table, especially well suited for pairing with a wide range of dishes or enjoyed on its own for its clarity and precision.
