Product details
Hailing from Nishinomiya City near Ozeki in Japan, this premium release represents a thoughtful blend of local heritage and gentle innovation. The house selects Yamadanishiki rice and polishes it to 45%, then works with a unique yeast strain discovered on a native cherry blossom variety to coax out delicate floral and fruit aromas. The result is an expression that feels refined and intentional: elegant in structure, visibly polished in presentation, and designed to showcase a soft aromatic profile without sacrificing depth.
On the palate it offers a refined trio of apple, ripe peach, and a whisper of cherry-blossom florals, layered over a subtle honey-like sweetness that never overwhelms. The texture is silky and rounded, with a clean, lingering finish that emphasizes clarity and balance. Delightful when chilled, it pairs beautifully with smoked salmon carpaccio, fresh cheeses, or a bright apple sorbet, and makes a graceful choice both as an aperitif and as a delicate complement to a composed meal.
