Description
Miyama Nishiki and Yamada Nishiki are blended at a 50% polish for this junmai ginjo, drawing on both the clean lightness of Miyama Nishiki and the structured umami of Yamada Nishiki. Brewed with soft Zao underground spring water, this Hoyo expression offers a fresh citrus-tinged aroma and a graceful, balanced flavor. The combination of the two rices reflects the brewery's aim for elegant complexity.

Zao Shuzo
Miyagi
Founded in Meiji 6. In response to the blessings of Zao's underflowing water, the cold wind of Zao, and the Zao Mountain Range, we consistently brew the quality first sake.
