Product details
Shinsei Junmai Daiginjo by Yamamoto Honke carries a name that means “noble” and “sacred,” echoing a centuries-old custom of presenting finely crafted offerings in moments of reverence. Rooted in Kyoto, Yamamoto Honke is known for its warm, community-centered spirit and a philosophy of keeping quality high while remaining approachable. This expression is made with locally grown Kyo no Kagayaki rice and the house’s cherished water source, elements that together shape a remarkably smooth, refined character. The result is a creation that feels elegant yet welcoming, reflecting both tradition and everyday grace in Kyoto style.
On the palate, it opens with a full, fragrant impression reminiscent of rice blossoms in bloom. The texture is mellow and delicate, gliding gently with a soft, rounded mouthfeel. Subtle notes of marshmallow emerge, adding a tender sweetness that soothes the senses without excess. Balanced and graceful from start to finish, it leaves a clean, lingering impression that highlights purity, calm, and quiet sophistication.
