Hatsugasumi Tokubetsu Junmai

Hatsugasumi Tokubetsu Junmai is a specially designated pure rice sake from Kubohonkeshuzo in Nara, earning the tokubetsu classification either through the use of a particularly premium rice variety or a higher polishing ratio than standard junmai requirements. Nara Prefecture's rich agricultural and brewing history provides the foundation for this expression, which balances the clean rice flavor expected of junmai with an added layer of refinement. The sake reflects the brewery's care in selecting ingredients that elevate it above the standard junmai category.
