다이긴죠 이와테호마레

Daiginjo Iwatehomare is brewed at Iwate Meijyo in Iwate Prefecture using Iwatehomare, a sake rice variety developed specifically for the cold northern climate of the Tohoku region. Polished to at least 50% for daiginjo classification, the rice undergoes long, slow fermentation in Iwate's cold winters, which encourages the development of complex fruity aromas. This expression showcases how a regionally adapted rice variety can achieve premium quality in northern Japan.
