HATOMASAMUNE JUNMAI GINEBOSHI HIIRE

Brewed exclusively with locally grown Gin-eboshi rice, this sake is pasteurized only once and carefully aged at low temperatures, resulting in a clean, refreshing, and beautifully refined character. About Gin-eboshi Gin-eboshi is a sake rice variety developed specifically to thrive in cooler climates. While Aomori’s Tsugaru region is well known for sake rice varieties such as Hana Fubuki and Hana Omoi, the southern Pacific coast of the prefecture has historically faced challenges in cultivating high-quality sake rice due to the cool Yamase winds. Gin-eboshi has opened up new possibilities for sake brewing in this region. Its excellent resistance to cool weather, combined with its reliable brewing qualities, has made it an important sake rice representing southern Aomori. Flavor & Tasting Experience This sake expresses the refined character of Gin-eboshi through delicate aromas, a smooth and rounded texture, and a light, refreshing palate. Careful brewing and low-temperature aging create an elegant balance of flavor, followed by a remarkably clean finish. It beautifully reflects the distinctive terroir of Aomori while showcasing the potential of Gin-eboshi as a sake rice. Pairing Recommendations Its clean and delicate character pairs particularly well with light seafood dishes, grilled fish, and traditional Japanese appetizers, complementing their flavors without overpowering them.
