Koji Rice Series 1 is the first release of three expressions designed to showcase the beautiful complexities of koji fermentation. Our koji rice wine is infused with gently aromatic mahleb, and blended with a kefir of lavender we have smoked over beechwood. The blend is an unfiltered, still expression that captures the earthy and herbaceous notes in the koji rice. The complexity of the drink allows for a myriad of pairing options. Crunchy salads will play well, as well as desserts, particularly dishes such as the classic Danish ‘Risalamande,’ or Hokkaido milk pudding. The drink is also beautiful on its own. Possessing a silky, luxurious mouthfeel, the blend is medium-dry, with soothing warm undertones. The blend is an unfiltered, still expression that captures the earthy, umami and herbaceous notes of koji.
