Hanaabi The Premium YamadaNishiki Polishing 40% / 花陽浴 The Premium 山田錦 磨き四割

This brand is brewed by Nanyo Jozo in Hanyu City, Saitama Prefecture. The brewery is run by a sister, her husband, and younger brother. Although it is a small brewery, it is well known for its delicious taste. It is now a hard-to-find brand.This is the “Jikagumi(Direct bottling)” version, which is released in very small quantities with different rice. The new sake is brewed during winter season and sealed in the bottle immediately at the tank. It is a fresh, unfiltered, unfiltered sake with a well-balanced aroma and a small amount of gassiness from being stored in bottles at sub-zero temperatures (-5°C) for several months before release. It is a direct draft of the new “THE PREMIUM” series, made from 40% Yamada-Nishiki rice, which is highly suited for sake brewing.
