Made with a variety of sweet potato including “Genji-imo” variety, combined with special breed of rice from the SAMURAI ERA. From 7g of rice seeds, it’s bred for the first time after 154 years.
Slightly sweet, floral, crisp and delicately spicy palate with a deep umami aroma and a complexity that stays in the mouth for long. Yet it remains very gentle, easy to drink and can be enjoyed straight or on the rocks. We would also recommend Oyuwari (i.e. with hot water) which enhances the aroma and flavours. Pairs perfectly with fried fish and meat, spicy food but also with some sweet desserts.
