Product details
Sho Chiku Bai Kyoto Fushimizu Jitate is inspired by centuries of craftsmanship rooted in Kyoto, a region long celebrated for its pristine water sources and refined culinary culture. Drawing from the famed Fushimi water, known for its softness and purity, this release is shaped to emphasize calm elegance, balance, and approachability. The style is intentionally gentle and soothing, designed to deliver comfort and quiet depth rather than intensity. Its smooth, polished character makes it an ideal companion for relaxed evenings, reflecting the brand’s commitment to harmony, tradition, and everyday enjoyment elevated by thoughtful craftsmanship.
The aromatic profile is subtle and inviting, with soft notes reminiscent of French vanilla ice cream and a touch of cardamom. On the palate, a creamy, silky texture unfolds, revealing flavors similar to lightly seasoned cream of wheat and fresh honeydew. As it opens at room temperature, gentle baking spice tones become more pronounced, and the mouthfeel grows even richer and more comforting. This refined expression pairs beautifully with creamy and delicate dishes such as chicken korma, squash blossom risotto, California rolls, steamed white fish, a buttery lobster roll, or even a simple bowl of popcorn.
