Product details
Mimurosugi Junmai Daiginjo Tsuyuhakaze is a distinctive Japanese rice beverage from Imanishi Shuzo, a historic brewery in Nara Prefecture renowned for expressing the character of local rice and traditional craftsmanship. This release is crafted exclusively with Tsuyuhakaze, a heritage rice variety known for its naturally complex character. Because of its large starch core, the rice can be polished to a maximum of 50%, a challenge the brewery embraced to reveal its full potential. After pressing in April, the beverage is carefully bottle-aged at 5°C until it develops greater roundness and harmony before release, reflecting Mimurosugi's philosophy of precision, patience, and respect for the qualities of its ingredients.
According to the producer, this expression offers a gentle, restrained aroma that leads to a palate filled with the fresh, vibrant umami of rice. Light and graceful in texture, it also delivers a pleasing sense of concentration before finishing with a clean, sharp finish, making it especially well suited for dining. It pairs beautifully with sushi, sashimi, grilled white fish, steamed seafood, seasonal vegetables, and other delicately seasoned Japanese dishes, where its balanced character complements the natural flavors of the meal.
