Product details
Founded in 1903 in the snowy reaches of Akita, this house has built a reputation for excellence through consistent competition success and quiet dedication to craft. Over the past fifteen years it has earned ten national gold medals, and its long-serving head artisan, Mr. Takahashi, has been honored by the Emperor for his contribution to the craft. Drawing on a proprietary aromatic yeast developed in-house and a careful, low-temperature production approach, the release balances classical restraint with modern aromatic clarity—creamy and layered, yet clear and purposeful in expression. It offers an approachable gateway into the producer’s style while revealing depth for those who seek it.
Aromatic on first encounter, the nose gives a delicate nod to anise before bright, fruit-forward notes take center stage. Ripe mango and fresh strawberry unfold across the palate, supported by a silky, layered mouthfeel that feels both plush and precise. The finish turns toward a dry, white-pepper spice that adds a brisk, invigorating lift, leaving a clean, lingering impression. Best enjoyed chilled, it pairs effortlessly with salads, spicy preparations, sashimi, or lighter desserts—equally satisfying on its own or alongside a thoughtfully composed meal.
