THE STORY CARDAn imagined selection
The quiet
between
courses.
A story to read.
A moment to share.
A fictional selection, created to show how an IKI Story Card reads.
01 / Before the pour
A little room for
what comes next.
A table does not need another centrepiece. Sometimes it needs a gentler transition: the last taste of one course giving way to the next.
This imagined selection begins with that moment. Clear fruit, a soft grain note and a gently savoury finish leave room for the food—and the conversation—to continue.
02 / Inside the bottle
Follow the shape,
not a checklist.
An illustrative profile for this imagined selection.
- Aroma
- Pear skin, white flowers, a hint of fresh grain.
- Texture
- Fine and satin-like, with a gentle sense of weight.
- Finish
- Clean, softly savoury and unhurried.
Take one sip before the food, then another alongside it. Notice what becomes clearer.
03 / At the table
Start simply.
Let the table do the rest.
- Serve
- Begin lightly chilled.
- Vessel
- A small wine glass, with space above the pour.
- Alongside
- Steamed fish with ginger, grilled mushrooms, or a lightly seasoned broth.
Two moments in one pour
Begin lightly chilled. In this imagined profile, look for the clear fruit and fine, satin-like texture.
