Celebrated as the rice most perfectly suited to the fertile soils of Uyashinai, Riku-u 132 carries high expectations—but it was never expected to be a mere model student. This is not a “tamed Kame-no-O.” Instead, it is a sake that dares to express the untamed spirit of its origins.
Cultivated without pesticides, Riku-u 132 holds immense potential, waiting to reveal its true character in every sip.
Ethereal aromas reminiscent of sweet muscatel grapes, tart gooseberry, white flowers, and milky lactonic notes are grounded by a comforting sense of cedarwood. A gentle sweetness washes across the palate, supported by subtle umami, coquettish, juicy acidity, and a herbaceous, conifer–like astringency. The overall impression is of a soft, rounded yet nuanced flavour with a delicate savoury depth.
Earth invites you to savor a sense of the rice and the land from which it was born.
