About
This junmai daiginjo is carefully brewed with Yamada Nishiki rice grown in Hyogo Prefecture and groundwater from the upper reaches of the Yoshino River in Tokushima. It has a clean finish and a smooth, crisp drinking quality. The name Hosui comes from the way earlier generations praised the Yoshino River as "Hosui." It drinks light and refined, with an elegant ginjo aroma, refreshing acidity, and a glossy, full-bodied umami that spreads across the palate. Serving it chilled, either as reishu or at hiya, is recommended.
