Product details
This product carries a legacy born of a nearly lost strain of Shinriki rice, once thought extinct since the 1920s, revived in 2006 by the Miyake family in Hiroshima. Their commitment to authenticity is reflected in the decision to polish only 15% of the rice grain, preserving bold character and expressive depth. The result is a product that retains full intensity, with no dilution or charcoal filtration, offering a vibrant and unfiltered expression with remarkable concentration.
On the nose, expect layered notes of warm brown rice, tart white currant, green tea, wildflower honey, and subtle toffee undertones. The palate is rich, complex, and umami-driven, moving through baked pear, white pepper, and touches of chocolate or biscuit dough, supported by lively acidity and a refined bitterness that carries into a deep, lingering finish. The structure is dense yet smooth, offering a thoughtful, contemplative experience that reveals new dimensions with each sip.
