About the Sake
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.
Tasting Notes
As the name “The Premium” suggests, it has an aroma and taste that sets it apart from ordinary Junmai Daiginjo. Once you drink it, you will never forget it, and it can be said to be the one and only Hanaabi.
