Miyoshino Jōzō ‘Hanatomoe’ Sake

‘Hanatomoe’ is onze bestverkochte sake, als we hem aan klanten laten proeven is de verkoop vrijwel gegarandeerd. Zowel kersverse als geoefende sake-drinkers zijn steevast onder de indruk van de puurheid, drinkbaarheid en elegantie van deze jonge sake. Aromatisch en floraal in de neus, met een volle maar verkwikkende concentratie waarin ongekend elegante zuren zich sierlijk uitrollen over de tong en de complexe smaken tot lang in de afdronk doortrekken. 16% alcohol, gekoeld bewaren en schenken.

• Made using the unique medieval bodaimoto brewing method of Nara brews, this refreshing unpasteurised sake has retained the wild and flowery character of a young sake. Unfiltered, undiluted, no yeast added.
• Miyoshino Jōzō is an extremely small-scale family brewery, which re-started at the present location in 1912. At the moment the brewery is pretty much a one-man enterprise, run by the young brewer Hashimoto Teruaki, enabling him to do whatever he feels like. This has resulted in various one-tank-only experiments, which have put this small brewery in the spotlight of sake lovers interest.
• Almost without exception the Hanatomoe sake brands are pure, unpasteurised, unfiltered and undiluted, and most are made with natural yeast. The brewery is located in the village of Yoshino, Japan’s most famous cherry-blossom viewing spot, but also well-known for Yoshino cedar wood, used by most breweries for making cask-sake.
