Tokusen Minenohomare

Bicchu Akebono rice from Okayama is the foundation of this tokusen honjozo, brewed in a Kurashiki kura that has preserved its Meiji-era wooden press and neatly plastered walls. The rare wooden pressing machine applies minimal force, resulting in a round, gentle sake that avoids harsh extraction. The Minenohomare brand has anchored the brewery's production through most of the modern era.
