Tasting Notes

This boundary-pushing Craft Sake presents a brilliantly expressive bouquet, overflowing with luscious lychee, muscat grapes, and delicate floral hops. On the palate, it is incredibly juicy and vibrant, revealing bright citrus notes driven by a sharp, refreshing acidity. The tasting journey concludes with a remarkably clean and crisp finish, elegantly framed by a very subtle, sophisticated botanical bitterness.

Overview

Brewed by the highly innovative Ine to Agave brewery in Oga City, Akita Prefecture, "Hanakaze" represents a thrilling evolution in the world of sake. Classified as a "Craft Sake" (or Koshu, meaning "intersecting cultures"), this unique expression is co-fermented with premium beer hops, reviving and modernizing a traditional rural brewing method known as hanamoto. In a profound commitment to sustainable agriculture, the brewery exclusively utilizes naturally grown rice polished only to a minimal 90%, retaining the grain's natural vitality while achieving astonishing purity through masterful brewing techniques. This refreshing "new wind" of the sake industry pairs phenomenally with vibrant dishes, such as white fish carpaccio, fresh tomato caprese, or even richly spiced Southeast Asian and Sichuan cuisines.
