Ryota
This is the masterpiece of Sawa Hime, whose concept is to "declare true local sake". We have broken away from "Yamadanishiki," which is used by all breweries, and have dared to use "Hitogokochi," a sake rice that is the answer to the question of what is a locally produced sake. Although a difficult rice, Hitogochiki won the World Champion in 2010, and has evolved even further through tireless study. It has a gorgeous and refreshing fruity aroma, and a sense of balance between soft and light umami and acidity that belies its aroma, just as you would expect. When drunk in a wine glass without being overly chilled, it is as satisfying as an expensive white wine.
