Surrounded by volcanic landscapes, Oita is blessed with pristine, crisp natural underground spring water filtered through the Kuju Mountains. Pure and mineral-balanced, this water provides an ideal yeast fermentation environment, resulting in smooth and clean sake.The high elevation of Kokonoe Town experiences significant day-night temperature swings, which promotes starch accumulation in rice grains. Contract-farmed sake rice features full, well-defined shimbaku (white starch cores), laying the foundation for elegant rice aromas and rich umami.

Opens immediately with fresh and subtle fruity aromas, highlighting crisp green apple, white peach, and bright citrus accents. As the bubbles release, a gentle sweetness of steamed white rice and faint floral notes emerge. The overall aroma is refined and soft, displaying the authentic character of Junmai sake. At 8% ABV, the body is exceptionally light and approachable. The rice umami from Oita-grown Yamada Nishiki pairs seamlessly with the effervescence, offering a mouthfeel reminiscent of a fine French cidre blended with refined Junmai sake—combining the crisp, refreshing quality of sparkling wine with the velvety smoothness and gentle sweetness of Japanese sake. A clean finish that leaves a light touch of acidity and subtle sweetness, inviting another sip without leaving any heaviness on the palate.
