Tenmei Bange Hanafubuki Origarami Ichibi 720ml

The Kura-maru series specializes in single sake-brewing rice varieties born in Aizubange and prefectural yeasts, designed to let you more deeply feel the atmosphere of the brewery and our beloved hometown of Aizubange-machi. The common features across the series are a 50% polished Junmai Ginjo, origarami (lightly cloudy), and single pasteurization. The first release is “Kuratsubaki,” representing the red and white camellias that bloom in winter at “Akebono Shuzo.” They provide a sense of peace during the harsh winters. The rice used for “Kuratsubaki” is “Hanafubuki.” While Hanafubuki is a sake-brewing rice from Aomori Prefecture, the Hanafubuki used in “Kuratsubaki” is grown locally in Akebono Shuzo’s hometown of Aizubange. As a rice particularly suited for Ginjo sake, it is characterized by a crisp lightness within its softness.
