Junmaishu Minamitaiheiyo Hiikawaorochi

Junmaishu Minamitaiheiyo Hiikawaorochi from Kisuki Shuzo in Shimane draws its name from the legendary eight-headed serpent Yamata no Orochi of Japanese mythology, said to have been slain by the god Susanoo in the Hii River basin near the brewery's location. The junmai classification ensures pure-rice brewing without added alcohol, with the mythology-inspired name suggesting a bold, powerful sake character befitting its dramatic namesake. Shimane's Hii River water, central to both the region's mythological heritage and its brewing quality, underpins the clean, robust flavor of this expression.
