HououBiden Junmai Daiginjo Mikumari 2025【鳳凰美田 純米大吟醸 水分神 Mikumari 2025 新年干支絵馬付き】

Its flavor is polished to perfection—refined, clear, and gentle like sacred spring water forged by the natural environment of Nikko. With Houou Biden’s signature gorgeous aroma, delicate umami, and the transparency brought by high polishing, it exudes a divine, airy elegance—a supreme expression of Nikko’s terroir. Like an art piece of solemn beauty, it holds the heart and craftsmanship of Kobayashi Shuzo.

From the “Nikko – NIKKO –” brand, created in tribute to the nature and waters of Nikko, comes its highest offering: Junmai Daiginjo Suibunshin MIKUMARI. The name “Mikumari” refers to the deity who governs water sources and their distribution—historically enshrined at vital springs and watershed boundaries, symbolizing the guardian of life-giving water.

This special Houou Biden, bearing the name of a deity, is brewed using “Yume Sasara,” nurtured by Nikko’s grand natural environment, and polished to an exceptional 25%—the highest precision in the entire Houou Biden lineup.

Brewed slowly using the traditional kimoto method and pure sacred water sourced from Kobayashi Shuzo’s own Nikko spring, it is a truly unparalleled creation.

This release also comes with an exclusive set featuring lucky ema plaques designed in collaboration with the revered “Two Shrines and One Temple” of Nikko—Toshogu Shrine, Futarasan Shrine, and Rinnoji—packaged in a luxurious collector’s box. A once-in-a-lifetime special set imbued with auspicious meaning, this masterpiece carries the blessing of Nikko’s sacred realm.

Please enjoy this extraordinary sake that feels as if it brings good fortune with every sip.
