Effervescent. Citrus. Crisp.
Miho-san revived Hattanso rice, an extinct heirloom breed, by devoting over 10 years of her life to learning how to grow it and brew with it.
SAKE OVERVIEW
Female brewery owner and Toji, Miho Imada, mills the rice for this sake less than most Junmais because she believes it results in the best expression of rice flavor, balance, and complexity.
TASTING NOTES
Full flavor, earthy touches and great texture with a long, persistent finish.
EAT WITH
An amazing oyster pairing, as Hiroshima has more oyster beds than anywhere else in Japan and influences the sake. Also try it with red curry and ginger steamed clams.

MORE ABOUT THE BREWERY
The future is female. Miho Imada serves as both the president and Toji - a rarity in Japan. To date she has already revived a local heirloom rice that had not been used from hundreds of years, created her own hybrid yeast starter, and uses white koji for sake brewing.
