It’s kind of rice for brewing . It is a brewer’s rice which is suitable for Japanese sake growing in this area, developed by Aomori Prefecture Agricultural Experiment Institution in 1976 (51 of the Showa period). The origin of the name “Hou-Hai” means rich sake. And it came from a song that Mr.Tamenobu, a Tsugaru clan ancestor, sang to inspire his soldiers to fight at the battle. It is also a famous folk song “Ho-Hai-Bushi” at Tsugaru now. Influenced by the humor of “Hou-Hai-Bushi” and his victory, the sake was named “Houhai” whose sounds are the same as “Hou-Hai”. We are the only brewery that brews sake from “Houhai-mai”. It is my fate that we named it, so we would like to cherish it. Our brewery uses “Houhai-mai” ,”Hanafubuki” ,and “Hanaomoi” that are harvested by neighboring farmers with the best of care. Those are 80% of the whole. The rest is “Yamadanishiki” and “Yamadaho” from Nishiwaki-shi, Hyogo Prefecture and “Kamenoo” and “Misatonishiki” from Ogata village, Akita prefecture.
