Visual study for Tahatake

A drink built around earth, grain and Japanese-inspired fermentation.

An exploration of how a landscape might become a drink. This concept starts with the quiet relationship between cultivated soil, grain and fermentation.

Translate the feeling of an earthy Japanese garden into a clear, restrained drinking experience. Give texture as much attention as aroma.

Map toasted, mineral and fermented notes. Develop small trials around grain infusions, then compare balance, dilution and serving temperature.

A proposed signature with a soft grain-led opening and a dry, earthy finish. An archive study in flavour, restraint and the language of place.
