This sake exudes aromas of citrus peel, pear, green apple, fresh grass, and wild yeast — a bouquet full of natural and untamed elements. The body carries a slight effervescence, with a lively entry and sharp acidity. It presents clear rice umami along with a gentle natural lactic character, balanced by delicate sweetness and a refined, subtle finish. The overall impression is one of vivid “terroir personality,” making it a vibrant, deeply philosophical natural-style sake.
It can be enjoyed on its own to appreciate the evolving flavors, or paired with pickled dishes, vinegared items, light sauces, or creative cuisine made with natural ingredients.
This is a 2024 release from the avant-garde “Ubusuna” series by Hananoka Sake Brewery in Kumamoto Prefecture. It is brewed using Homase, a heritage rice variety, with cultivation and brewing carried out by Gonoujou, reflecting a deep commitment to the land, nature, and symbiotic agriculture.
