It's remarkable to witness Hatsumomiji Brewery, located in Yamaguchi Prefecture, led by a team of women. Master brewer Abe-san, supported by young women trained in sake brewing at the local high school, navigates the brewing process expertly, without tasting the sake themselves—an impressive feat! Their dedication shines through, resulting in consistently popular bottles. This special seasonal release boasts unpasteurized goodness, revealing fragrances of yogurt and cream soda. Upon tasting, experience flavors reminiscent of coconut, pina colada, powdered milk, and noyaux. As an arabashiri sake, pressed at the beginning of the process with some lees retained, it exudes a creamy texture and rice-forward aroma. Don't miss out—get it while it's in season!
