On the palate, the sake fully expresses the rich and generous umami of Omachi grown in Akita Prefecture, intertwined with Hanamura’s signature gorgeous aroma and elegant sweetness. The texture is smooth, graceful, rounded, and lustrous, creating a delicately refined and sweet style. As it enters the palate, bright and expressive aromas quickly unfold, filling the mouth with an alluring sweetness and richness that combine the full-bodied character of Omachi with Hanamura’s distinctive elegance. Best enjoyed moderately chilled, allowing its gorgeous aromas and refined, mellow sweetness to be appreciated in full. This is a precious limited Hanamura release available only for this year.

“Hanamura Junmai Ginjo Akita Omachi” is an exceptionally rare release available exclusively this year, brewed for the first time with 100% experimentally cultivated Omachi grown in Akita Prefecture. It offers a fascinating opportunity to compare it with Hanamura’s classic “Bizen Omachi Junmai Ginjo” and experience how Omachi grown in different regions expresses its distinctive terroir and individual character.

When the “Hanamura” brand was first created, Takagi Shuzo, the brewery behind Juyondai, provided technical guidance covering everything from the selection of sake rice and brewing methods to quality control and label design. For this release, Akita-grown Omachi is polished to 50%, while the brewing water comes from Chikara-mizu, sourced from the Kurikoma mountain range and recognized among Japan’s “100 Selected Exquisite and Well-Conserved Waters.” The sake is brewed slowly at low temperatures using the brewery’s proprietary method. To preserve as much of the captivating freshly pressed character as possible, it is carefully bottled shortly after pressing and undergoes only a single pasteurization in the bottle.
