Product details
The story behind this creation is rooted in a rich heritage of Japanese rice culture, where the revered Omachi strain—sometimes called the grandfather of brewing rice—is handled with deep respect and precision. Produced by a house dedicated to honouring the natural character of its primary ingredient, the brand polishes the tall-stalked Omachi kernels and pairs that with pristine local water to bring out a striking yet balanced profile. What emerges is a product of refined posture: a body that carries generous fullness and thickness, a gently soft aromatic presence unique to Omachi, and a craftsmanship that invites slow discovery rather than mere quick enjoyment.
On the nose it presents a fragrant bouquet of white flowers, pear and melon, with hints of delicate anise and that signature fruit-accent of the Omachi strain. On the palate there is a plush, rounded body with natural acidity and savoury richness working in harmony; you’ll experience layers of banana, cooked coconut and soft nuts interwoven with ripe pear, all culminating in a clean yet satisfying finish. Whether enjoyed cool to retain its fresh fruit tones or warmed slightly to draw out greater depth and umami‐rich layers, it offers a versatile companion to fine foods such as sushi, sashimi and tempura.
