Product details
Shunkashusetsu Echizen is a carefully developed creation from Koshi No Iso of Fukui Prefecture, a family enterprise founded around 1909 near the Sea of Japan. Revered for its use of locally grown Gohyakumangoku rice, it reflects a legacy of purity and minimal intervention. The resulting product is distinctly light in weight yet firmly elegant and structured. With only light filtration applied, it retains a natural hue and clarity that underscores its unpretentious sophistication.
Its bouquet opens dry and distinctly rice-forward, accented by subtle mineral and talc-like hints that evoke a coastal terroir. The taste is ultra-clean and crisp, with bright acidity balanced against peppery spice and a delicate minerality. Gentle textures evolve into a soft yet firm finish that lingers with a refined, mildly spicy note. Ideal as an aperitif or with subtle seafood preparations, its rice-first character and poised dryness offer a harmonious tasting journey.
