Product details
Nabeshima Tankan Wataribune is a distinguished release from Fukuchiyo Shuzo in Saga Prefecture, a house celebrated for precision, balance, and modern elegance rooted in tradition. This expression is crafted using the rare Tankan Wataribune rice, a heritage variety prized for its ability to convey depth, refinement, and clarity. Meticulous attention is given to every stage of creation, from careful ingredient selection to patient maturation, resulting in a polished and harmonious profile. Nabeshima has earned a reputation for producing refined, contemporary styles, and this bottling stands as a shining example of the brand’s pursuit of purity, grace, and expressive character.
On the palate, it opens with an inviting aroma of ripe melon and pear, gently lifted by soft floral nuances. The texture is silky and smooth, unfolding layers of white grape and delicate stone fruit supported by crisp, well-integrated acidity. A subtle savory note and light mineral edge add dimension, leading to a clean, lingering finish that feels both elegant and refreshing. Its balanced structure makes it an excellent companion for sushi, sashimi, and lightly seasoned seafood, where its nuanced profile enhances rather than overwhelms.
