Rice & Brewing Details

• Rice Variety: 100% Aiyama rice, a rare & premium sake rice often called the “diamond of sake rice” due to its scarcity and high quality.

• Polishing / Milling Rate: Polished down to 35%, meaning 65% of the outer part of each rice grain is milled away, leaving the premium core which contributes to clean, refined flavour and aroma.

• Brewed in an area renowned for its pure water sources — Niigata’s terroir gives “tanrei karakuchi” (crisp, clean, dry) style; cool climate and brewing traditions support elegance in sake.

Tasting Profile

• Aroma: Elegant ginjo-style fragrances — expect ripe fruit notes such as melon, maybe even gentle banana, soft floral hints, and the pure sweetness of rice itself. View Source

• Palate: When sipped, the richness of the rice sweetness shows up up front, balancing with smooth, silky texture. Clean, refined on the mid-palate. Acidity is present but moderate, helping to lift and refresh rather than dominate.

• Finish: Light, refreshing aftertaste with a subtle lingering sweetness, balanced by acidity so the finish doesn’t feel too heavy. Versatile enough to pair well with a range of foods.
