About the Estate:
Back in 2019, Fujioka chose to give his Okuda lot second harvest a rest and sent us this beautiful alternative from his Shimoyama lot instead.
We decided to run with it year after year since then due to its incredible notes of sage, kinako and cashew cream.

Orange blossom, cashew milk, sage, kinako
