Product description
The Okunomatsu Sake Brewery, established in 1716, has a rich history dating back to a family of defeated samurai who turned to sake production to make a living. Now managed by the 19th generation of the family, the brewery is dedicated to crafting powerful sake with clarity and precision. Located in the idyllic Nihonmatsu City at the foot of Mount Adatara, the brewery is blessed with pure, clean water that has trickled down through the mountain for 40 years, providing the ideal mineral balance for brewing.
Sake Description
'Hiya-oroshi' is a seasonal style of sake released in the autumn after being stored coolly throughout the summer. This maturation period allows the sake to develop a rich, mature, and umami-forward flavour profile. It typically has a soft, rounded texture that complements its complex aroma, which may include notes of fruit, steamed rice, and spices. The taste is often milder and richer than freshly pressed sake, with the roughness fading away.
Food Pairing
Suggested pairings include hearty autumn foods such as red meats, shellfish, and mushrooms.
