Product details
Rooted in centuries of heritage, Wakatake “Onikoroshi” traces its origins to Shizuoka Prefecture, where its story began in 1832. The name “Onikoroshi,” meaning “Demon Slayer,” reflects a legendary past—once cherished by travelers crossing the icy waters of the Ōi River during the Edo period for its comforting and uplifting character. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this expression embodies a refined balance of tradition and precision, delivering a beautifully rounded profile with a silky, polished texture. Its layered depth and graceful structure make it a standout choice for those seeking both heritage and elegance in a single bottle.
On the palate, this offering reveals a harmonious interplay of depth and brightness. A gentle, fruit-driven aroma introduces notes of orchard fruits and subtle floral tones, followed by a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. Lively acidity brings clarity and lift, while a touch of natural sweetness rounds out the experience without overwhelming the senses. The finish is clean yet lingering, making it especially versatile alongside a wide range of cuisines, including boldly seasoned and spicy dishes. Best enjoyed well chilled, it delivers a refreshing yet complex tasting experience with every pour.
