Detailed Evaluation
Sweet aromas of ripe sweet potato and steamed chestnut are joined by subtle earthy nuances. The palate is silky and generous, with natural sweetness slowly unfolding before savory grain-like depth emerges through the mid-palate. Alcohol is beautifully integrated, giving power without harshness. Lingering notes of sweet potato, spice, and gentle bitterness fade gracefully. A beautifully crafted expression of handmade koji and Nakamura's signature elegance.
