Product details
From the misty mountains of Ishikawa, this creation embodies the enduring philosophy of balance through patience. Crafted in the traditional Yamahai style—a slow, natural process that nurtures complexity—it reflects the producer’s deep respect for time-honored methods and local ingredients. The result is an expression that carries the spirit of the region: quietly powerful, deeply layered, and remarkably versatile. Its pale golden hue hints at the richness within, while its refined balance allows it to complement a wide range of flavors, from comforting stews to delicately seasoned dishes.
On the palate, it reveals an intriguing depth—earthy, dry, and subtly tangy at first, then gradually opening into nutty and buttery tones reminiscent of walnut bread and honey. A faint echo of mushrooms lingers, adding umami warmth to its smooth texture. When served chilled, soft floral notes rise to the surface, while gentle warmth enhances its richness and depth. Paired beautifully with dishes such as miso-based soups, buri-daikon, soft cheeses, or Japanese hot pot, it offers a seamless harmony that evolves with every temperature and every bite.
