Characteristics of taste
This Junmai Ginjo sake is brewed exclusively with "Tsuyubakaze" rice, which is grown with the participation of local farmers and brewers. "Tsuyubakaze" is a sake rice unique to Nara Prefecture, and is a variety that is suited to cultivation in mountainous areas. It was expected that it would be difficult to cultivate in the flat land of Kashiba City, but with some ingenuity in managing the water in the rice fields, it was successfully cultivated for the first time in Kashiba. It has a fruity aroma, followed by a sour taste, a slightly unique aroma, and the distinctive three-dimensional richness of "Tsuyubakaze". Incidentally, the brand name "Hatsuhonoka" was chosen because it means "the first ears of rice to ripen in Kashiba."
