About

Hiyaoroshi (sake brewed in winter, stored in refrigeration until autumn, and then shipped) is aged over the summer before release. The summer of aging deepens its flavor and body even further. Having mellowed into a rich, rounded sake, it pairs exceptionally well with seasonal autumn and winter fare such as hotpot dishes and fatty seafood. Released in limited quantities from the first hint of autumn breezes, hiyaoroshi is a classic of the season. Enjoy it chilled or warmed, a sake that evokes the changing seasons of Japan.
