Product details
Rooted in centuries of Japanese tradition, this expression reflects the Sho Chiku Bai house’s dedication to balance, elegance, and refinement. Drawing on the pure waters of Kyoto’s Fushimizu region and carefully selected rice, it is crafted with meticulous attention to detail to preserve a subtle, soothing character. The result is a clear, graceful profile that harmonizes gentle richness with a light, approachable presence, making it a versatile companion for a variety of dining settings or quiet moments of relaxation.
The aroma is delicate and comforting, with hints reminiscent of French vanilla and cardamom. On the palate, it reveals a soft, creamy texture, layered with flavors of lightly seasoned cream of wheat and honeydew. As it warms to room temperature, gentle notes of baking spices emerge, enhancing the richness and silkiness. This expression pairs beautifully with subtly creamy dishes such as chicken korma or squash blossom risotto, as well as lightly flavored seafood or even a simple buttery snack, offering an elegant, soothing experience.
