The aroma reveals a soft fruitiness with subtle citrus freshness. On the palate, rich rice umami gradually expands from a smooth entry, structured with firm acidity, bitterness, and grain-like astringency, forming perfect balance. It retains HououBiden’s signature elegance yet carries a rugged character that captivates, finishing crisp and refined.
This collaboration sake from Tochigi’s famed Senkin employs Tochigi Aikoku No.3, an heirloom rice variety revived in partnership with local cooperatives and agricultural schools. Brewed with the traditional kimoto method, it stands out with unique character. A rare, ultra-limited creation born of two of Tochigi’s leading breweries, it is truly worth seeking out.
