Hatsumago Biho

Biho (beautiful foam) is a sparkling Junmai Ginjo sake brewed using the traditional Kimoto method, in which lactic acid bacteria are produced in the sake mash, thus protecting it from contamination. The result is gentle lactic aromas of buttermilk and aromas of steamed rice. A dry and clear Sparkling Junmai Ginjo with a fine perlage, Biho demonstrates beautiful contrast between the delicate sweetness of the rice and the characteristic acidity from the traditional Kimoto method. Perfect as an aperitif or with fried dishes such as fish tempura. The beautiful bottle is perfect for celebrations.

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
