About This Sake

Sakura Hana" is brewed with 50% Yamadanishiki produced in Wasui-cho and No. 9 yeast + 1801 yeast in order to give the impression of spring. It has an aromatic, delicate, and gentle flavor, with a floral and rice flavor, which is broken up by a positive bitterness, like a floral snowstorm. It is a beautiful sake with the most fragrant, gorgeous, gentle, feminine, and delicate aroma as its name "Hana-no-Ko" suggests, and the umami of rice spreads toward the mid-palate and is broken up by the positive bitterness.

About The Brewery

About The Brewery

We brew our sake in the mountainous area of Wasui-cho, Tamana-gun, Kumamoto Prefecture, which is blessed with nature and has a 2,000-year history of paddy rice culture, which is also recognized as a Japanese Heritage. All of our rice is grown in the Kikuchi River basin, as we believe that rice grown in rice paddies in the same area as the brewing water is the best match for the rice. The term "Sanchi" means to respect the indigenous production climate and the spirit of prayer. It is our brewing philosophy to "brew the best sake" that enriches people, nature, and the ecosystem. Sansuchi" is an ancient Japanese word that has existed in Japan since ancient times. We call it "ubusuna," which means the guardian god of the land or the mother of nature's bounty. The spirit of prayer is most important for sake, a culture that originally consists of "gojinshu," or sacred sake. Our philosophy also includes gratitude for the land that nurtures the water and rice produced by nature, and for the bounty of that nature. We pursue the best sake by respecting the indigenous production climate, local products, traditions and culture, and the spirit of prayer.
