Description

Kura no Hana rice, a sake-specific variety developed and grown in Miyagi, is polished to 50% for this all-Miyagi tokubetsu junmai, produced by the brewery's young team under the Inspiration label. Despite the tokubetsu junmai classification, the koji and mash preparation matches ginjo-level effort, resulting in a clean palate with defined rice umami and a citrus-tinted freshness typical of raw Miyagi sake. Miyagi yeast and soft Zao spring water complete the local provenance.

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.
