The aroma reveals a soft fruitiness with subtle citrus freshness. On the palate, rich and full-bodied rice umami spreads smoothly, while firm structure is accented by sharp acidity, bitterness, and grain-like astringency, achieving exquisite balance. While retaining the elegance and softness characteristic of HououBiden, it also carries a rugged edge that fascinates. The finish is delicate, refreshing, and clean.
This is a special collaboration between Tochigi’s two prestigious breweries, Senkin and HououBiden! Using the heirloom rice Aikoku No.3—once cultivated in Tochigi during the Taisho era and recently revived through the efforts of agricultural schools and the Tochigi Prefectural Agricultural Promotion Office—this sake is part of an “Agricultural Revival Project,” preserving the value of farming and primary industries. Unlike modern sake rice bred for ease of use, the native heirloom Aikoku expresses the raw power of nature and the land. Through their distinct brewing approaches, Senkin and HououBiden have revived this ancient variety, presenting its unique character to today’s sake world. A dreamlike collaboration of phoenix and crane, not to be missed.
