Tohoku Meijyo

Hatsumago Junmai Hiyaoroshi Momijiroman 720mL

Since our founding, we have devoted ourselves to kimoto-zukuri using old-fashioned traditional methods. Our brewery is surrounded by sand dunes and Japanese black pine forests, and is a representative brand of Tohoku Meijo. Our famous sake, Hatsumago, is brewed by blending the blessings of nature with the traditional craftsmanship of our craftsmen. This is a seasonal limited item, “Momiji Roman”, a pure rice chilled grated fermented with traditional raw moto.
Ingredients are rice produced in Yamagata prefecture, polished to 60%, well water from the sand dunes of Sakata, and the traditional technique of “Namamoto Shubo”, which takes time and effort while skillfully utilizing the workings of the natural world. Hiyaoroshi is an autumn sake that is carefully brewed and carefully aged in a cool brewery to bring out the umami.
It is characterized by a mellow richness and firm acidity produced by traditional raw moto-zukuri, a deep, round and firm taste, and a sharp and beautiful aftertaste.
