Staff Pick Notes

Based in the southern prefecture of Kagawa, promoted female Toji Miki Fujioka creates a rice-driven expression with elegance yet gripping richness and complexity. Kawatsuru ("river crane") uses Yamada Nishiki rice as is the norm for high-quality saké production. On the palate, there is a spectrum of fruit, herb notes, and umami-driven flavors that coalesce for an incredibly enticing sip. Discover grapefruit, lemongrass, pear, saline, and a savory dry mineral component that interweaves throughout. It's beautifully textured and has a great roundness to it with a clean, succinct finish that ties everything up perfectly, easily pairable with a variety of dishes but also bright enough to sip in warmer months.
