Product details
From the pristine mountains of Nagano, Suwa Mikotsuru emerges as a boutique producer dedicated to creating deeply moving and refined offerings. Centering on the celebrated Yamada Nishiki strain—a premium rice known for its clarity and delicate character—the house polishes the grains down to an exceptionally low ratio, achieving purity and definition in every drop. Drawing on heritage craftsmanship nestled near Suwa Taisha, the expression balances intensity and restraint with a radiant translucence, evoking a harmony between soft fruit elegance and graceful structure.
This creation greets the senses with a refined bouquet reminiscent of ripe pears and muscat grapes, offering a pristine and fruit-forward presence. The palate unfolds with juice-like richness, where sweetness, moderate acidity, and umami merge into a smooth and round mouthfeel. Its layered complexity remains light and approachable, delivering a crisp, polished clarity that lingers as a clean and satisfying finish. Ideal pairings include medium-rare beef steak, seafood cream pasta, crab cream croquettes, and steamed white fish with butter, where its refined fruit tones and smooth balance complement both richness and delicacy.
