Because no cultured yeast is added, the sake ferments slowly over time with the help of naturally occurring microorganisms in the brewery, resulting in a vibrant, living flavor where umami seems to bloom on the palate. Brewed in wooden barrels, it carries a soft, elegant hint of cedar aroma. Layers of complexity intertwine in harmony, revealing depth, fragrance, and refined sophistication.
“Homase” is a native rice variety cultivated across Kyushu since the Edo period, often referred to as “the origin of Japanese rice” before modern breeding began. It is not about flamboyance, but about depth, warmth, and resilience—standing in the fields, swaying with the wind, and embodying the strength of life rooted in the soil.
The rice’s gentle umami and intricate flavor, combined with the atmosphere of wooden barrels, kimoto, and traditional methods, give rise to a calm yet profound sake. This is not a sake that is merely “made,” but one that is “born”—a crystal of nature and human spirit, realized only when both coexist in harmony.
