A rare and exceptional sake brewed with Homase, a Kumamoto heirloom rice from the Edo period, miraculously revived in recent years. Grown naturally on the brewery’s own farmland and by local farmers in the Kikuchi River basin, this sake embodies the rich blessings of the land. With vibrant aromas of banana and pineapple, complemented by the complexity brought by local yeast and diverse microorganisms, it offers a layered, one-of-a-kind flavor experience.

Hananoka Brewery Company
Kumamoto
Founded in 1902, Hananoka Brewery has been in operation since the Meiji era. They choose traditional 'Kimoto' brewing, use Edo Higo rice 'Homase,' and have revived 'Makou' (plowing with horses), a practice believed to have been common in Japan until around 1955. By incorporating these ancient cultures and techniques, they continue to produce sake with a deep respect for tradition.
