Description

Hanazakari Junmai Omachi is built around the ancient Omachi rice variety, one of Japan's oldest surviving sake rice strains, known for producing sake with earthy minerality and a structured, umami-driven body. Hanamori Shuzo in Yaotsu, Gifu, applies its traditional slow-drip extraction technique and the country's sole surviving manually operated 'Yaegaki-style press' to Omachi, coaxing out the variety's inherent complexity without aggressive pressing. The result is a pure rice sake of notable depth from a brewery committed to methods that have largely disappeared elsewhere.

Hanamori Shuzo Co.,Ltd

Gifu
Yachomatsu -cho, Gifu Prefecture, located in the middle basin of the Kiso River, is the final point where the river ship can go back, and has prospered as a Minatomachi where various supplies come from the Edo period to the Taisho era. At present, rivers are no longer used as transportation, but the beautiful landscape of the mountain purple water is designated as Hida Kisogawa Kokuni Park, and tourists from various areas are collected. Such historical backgrounds and high -quality underlying water in Yaotsu -cho have created various specialty products. Various brewing businesses, including sake, were one of them, and our brewery was founded in 1886 (Meiji 19) in the middle of the Meiji era, when Yaotsu -cho played an important role in distribution of supplies.
