Product details
Nagasaki True Beauty Nadeshiko Honkaku Mugi Shochu draws on the approximately 400-year heritage of Iki Island in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, a region renowned for its traditional barley-based production. This modern expression combines locally sourced barley and rice with wildflower yeast and white koji, reflecting the distinctive ingredients associated with Iki’s longstanding craftsmanship. Refined vacuum distillation helps preserve a delicate character, while the addition of cherry-inspired nuances gives True Beauty Nadeshiko its own contemporary identity. Blending regional tradition with a lighter, more refined style, this expression showcases the distinctive character of Iki Island and its established barley-making heritage.
True Beauty Nadeshiko offers a smooth, light profile with delicate barley character and subtle cherry blossom notes. A gentle sweetness adds softness and balance, leading to a crisp, clean finish. Its restrained floral character and delicate sweetness distinguish it from more robust barley expressions, creating an elegant profile that is easy to appreciate. This expression can be paired with grilled seafood, lightly seasoned chicken, or delicate Japanese dishes.
