Product details
The name behind this expression—玉乃光—carries centuries of heritage rooted in Kyoto’s Fushimi district, where pure waters and generations of custodianship converge to shape a refined tradition. From its founding in 1673, the house has committed fully to a “pure rice” pathway, foregoing added enhancements and instead leaning on carefully tended ingredients and precise balance. Their devotion is evident in the choice of premium sake-rice strains and the gentle handling every step of the way, ensuring finesse rather than force. The result is a refined offering that reveals clarity, elegance, and a refined character—ideal for moments of quiet appreciation or thoughtful pairing.
On the nose, expect delicate floral tones—white blossoms and a whisper of orchard blossom—framed by fresh rice grain and a subtle pear or melon sweetness. On the palate it delivers polished texture and balance: gently sweet stone fruit (peach or pear), soft grainy richness, and a clean, refreshing lift. A faint trace of white pepper or light spice gives structure, leading to a lingering, elegant closing note that is dry, poised, and lingering with echo of fruit and grains.
