The Sake of the Future: Crafted from a New Generation of brewer's rice
Hyogo Prefecture has developed a new variety of Sake rice called “Hyogo Sake 85,” envisioned as the next generation of premium brewing rice.
In recent years, shipments of this rice have surged dramatically, and it is expected to become a significant export, showcasing brewing potential comparable to the highly esteemed “Yamada Nishiki,” known as the finest brewer's rice.
Yamana Shuzo is a pioneer in utilizing Hyogo Sake 85. With a vision extending beyond domestic markets, the young brewery owner has turned his attention to international markets.
And, this Sake is aged in sherry casks from Andalusia, Spain. This aging process infuses the Sake with a sweet and rich aroma, elegantly bringing forth notes of caramel, cream, and raisins.
Despite its aromatic richness, the Sake offers a refreshingly clean taste. For those seeking a unique flavor experience, “Okutanba Hyogo Sake 85 Sherry Cask” is sure to impress.
