Product details
Rooted in a legacy of refinement and celebration, this premium Japanese creation embodies over a century of dedication to balance and elegance. Inspired by the three auspicious trees—pine, bamboo, and plum—it reflects endurance and renewal, traditions that have made it a favorite for special occasions. Crafted from the highly regarded Yamadanishiki rice and combined with pristine mountain waters, this expression showcases meticulous care and a commitment to clarity and purity. Its pale gold hue shines bright in the glass, signaling a polished, full-bodied presence that is both graceful and approachable.
On the nose, a fragrant bouquet opens with layered fruit aromas—honeydew melon, cantaloupe, watermelon, Asian pear, and soft banana—while a subtle sweetness hints at the depth to come. The mouthfeel is silky and full, offering a rich, well-balanced core of fruit with gentle grain undertones. The finish is elegant and lingering, lightly juicy with building savoriness that complements a range of dishes, from shellfish and sushi to soft, white-rind cheeses like brie or cambozola, making it an exceptionally versatile and refined companion for any moment.
