Product details
This expression is crafted using a kimoto method that emphasizes patience and precision, paired with 100% Gohyakumangoku rice — a variety celebrated for its suitability and balance. The careful process brings out the full character of the rice, resulting in a rich, concentrated profile that remains remarkably soft and approachable. Its texture is smooth and velvety, reflecting the dedication to traditional practices while offering an elegant, refined experience that highlights the essence of the ingredients.
On the palate, it presents a full-bodied yet delicately fruity character, with a mellow mouthfeel that unfolds gracefully. The richness of the rice shines through, giving a concentrated yet harmonious depth. Its smooth texture pairs beautifully with gently flavored dishes, including mild triple-cream cheeses, creamy risottos, and tender cuts of fatty meat such as wagyu, as well as rich fish like toro or fresh uni for a contrast of flavor and harmony of texture. The finish is soft and lingering, leaving a refined impression of balance and finesse.
