HIRALOKU REVIVE Origine
Craft Sake
Re:vive Origin Akatsuki is a special craft sake created by Hiraroku Brewery in Shiwa-machi, Iwate Prefecture. Akatsuki, a 100-year-old brewer's yeast, was discovered in the former brewery of the Hiraoroku Hirai Residence in Hizume, an important cultural property designated by the Japanese government, and this yeast was used to brew this sake.
Five kinds of rice, including germinated brown rice of Shiwa's specialty glutinous rice "Himenomochi," are used as ingredients, and the brewer spends 1.5 times longer than usual to prepare the koji, which is carefully made with a lot of time and effort. The result is a refined flavor that harmonizes the fruity aroma reminiscent of Japanese pears and beetroot with grain nuances.
It was released in limited quantities in late August 2024 and sold for 11,000 yen (tax included) for a 720 ml bottle. It is also handled as a tax return gift for hometown taxpayers.
