Product details
Senkin Classic represents a refined revival of Japan’s heritage, embodying the spirit of Edo-gaeri, or “return to Edo.” At its core is Kamenoo rice, restored to its original genetic form and cultivated with care, polished in the traditional morohaku style where every grain is fully refined. The process follows the time-honored kimoto method, without the addition of commercial yeast, instead drawing life from native cultures that have thrived in Senkin’s home for over two centuries. Groundwater from the Kinu River completes this natural cycle, bringing purity and vibrancy to a creation that bridges past and present, tradition and innovation.
The profile opens with gentle notes of ripe banana layered with bright citrus and soft floral tones, carried by a lively interplay of lactic and malic acidity that lends both freshness and depth. Its texture is graceful yet structured, finishing with a clean clarity that highlights its natural balance. This elegant expression pairs beautifully with delicate dishes such as white fish escabeche, spring vegetables simmered in bouillon, basil spaghetti, seafood salad, or even chilled steamed chicken—each harmony enhancing the refined and timeless character of Edo-gaeri.
