純米 初霞

Junmai Hatsugasumi is a foundational pure rice sake from Kubohonkeshuzo in Nara Prefecture, expressing the brewery's core approach to additive-free, rice-focused brewing. Nara's historical importance as Japan's first imperial capital brought Buddhist monks who developed some of the earliest systematic sake-brewing techniques, establishing a tradition this brewery continues. The sake delivers the savory, full-bodied flavor profile associated with classic Nara junmai styles.
