Ononokomachi Tokubetsujunmaishu

Ono Komachi rice, named after the legendary Heian-era poet Ono no Komachi who was said to have been born in Akita, is the named variety used in this Tokubetsu Junmai from AKITAKENHAKKO KOGYO. The special pure-rice brewing designation indicates elevated technique or rice milling beyond the standard junmai requirement, resulting in a cleaner, more fragrant sake. Produced in Yuzawa, Akita's most concentrated brewing area, this sake celebrates a regional rice variety tied to one of Japan's most celebrated classical poets.
