Product details
Originating from Takehara in Hiroshima, this creation reflects more than a century of craftsmanship and sincerity from its makers, whose founding philosophy—“Mirror of Truth”—expresses the belief that genuine passion is revealed through honest work. Made with local table rice and the region’s famously soft water, it embodies a sense of place and purity unique to Hiroshima. The result is a delicate composition that feels both comforting and refined—gentle in texture, quietly layered, and profoundly balanced, carrying the calm grace of its coastal hometown.
The flavor opens with a smooth, mellow impression that gradually unfolds into notes reminiscent of honey and browned butter. Soft sweetness and savory depth intertwine harmoniously, creating a rounded, satisfying mouthfeel that lingers just long enough to invite another sip. Whether enjoyed gently warmed, at room temperature, or slightly chilled, it pairs beautifully with fried oysters, crisp cutlets, or grilled skewers, enhancing the natural flavors of each dish with its subtle warmth and poise.
