Product details
This refined creation carries forward the traditional craftsmanship of Wakabotan, emphasizing the delicate balance between rice quality and brewing mastery. Made exclusively from the prestigious Yamada Nishiki variety, known as the “King of Sake Rice,” it showcases the natural character and sweetness of the grain. The liquid exhibits a crystalline, slightly bluish tint, reflecting both purity and elegance. Every aspect of its production—from careful selection of rice to precise fermentation—has been designed to highlight a clean, refreshing profile, making it a versatile companion to light, flavorful dishes and refined culinary experiences.
On the palate, gentle fruity notes of pear and melon unfold alongside a subtle, clean sweetness reminiscent of banana and soft confectionery. The texture is light and crisp, with a delicate acidity that enhances the feeling of freshness. Its well-rounded and juicy character leaves a refreshing finish, making it particularly suited for chilled enjoyment in a wine glass or a slender vessel. This expression pairs beautifully with white fish carpaccio, lightly seasoned meats, or salads with creamy cheeses, providing a harmonious balance that elevates both the drink and the meal.
