This sake is made using Yamada Nishiki rice harvested from a contracted growing area in Yashiro—part of the Special A district in Hyogo Prefecture—stretching from Yoshida to Mizuo. Cultivated in a region rich in nature and steeped in history, this exceptional rice helps bring out the sake’s truly impressive depth of flavor.
Among the Hououbiden lineup, this particular bottle is a reflection of the land, the changing climate from year to year, the evolving story of the rice, and the heartfelt dedication of its growers. As the sake warms in your glass, enjoy the unfolding ginjo aroma and the rich yet gentle taste of the rice. Please store in a cool, dark place and consume promptly after opening.
