Product details
This expressive creation draws its roots from a historic revival in 1975, when a centuries-old regional recipe was rediscovered and lovingly reawakened. It originates from Shizuoka’s famed soft-water region, celebrated for nurturing harmonious and delicate flavors. Crafted by a small, skillful team under the guidance of a long-standing family heritage, it emphasizes balance and subtlety. The result is a light and smooth offering, enriched with a round aroma that melds steamed rice and chestnut warmth with gentle fruity whispers of banana and melon.
On the palate, it unveils a serene interplay: soft and mildly dry, leading to an elegant finish that leaves a subtle savory memory. Tasting notes span tropical fruit tones—think Asian pear, melon, banana—evolving into a clean-edged, fruit-balanced dryness. It beautifully enhances light, savory snacks or cheese-flavored bites, offering a simple yet effective pairing choice.
