Sawa no hana Himari

“Himari,” means ‘the gift of the sun,’ and evokes visions of sunflowers and sunkissed locales. This elegant Junmai Ginjo contains fruity notes of melon and banana with a dry finish and a warm, smooth taste reminiscent of the autumn sun. It features "Hitogokochi" rice, which is handcrafted near the brewery in Saku (Nagano) and is brewed with high-quality Yatsugatake water which runs down from the mountains into underground springs. Handmade koji, fermentation at low temperatures for around 25 days, careful moromi control, and subsequent bottle aging give this Sake its signature finesse.

The Producer

澤の花 Sawa no hana

The brewery was founded in 1901 in Saku (Shinshu, Nagano Prefecture). Shinshu is a region characterized by many green forests in summer and freezing cold winters with lots of snow. "Sawa no hana" refers to the beautiful flowers that bloom along the crystal clear rivers in Saku, this is the reason why this brewery chose the iris flower as its symbol. The brewery brews its sake in winter from carefully selected local sake rice, namely Hitogokochi and Miyama Nishiki, and the Chikuma River groundwater from Yatsugatake. The young master brewer brews with the aim of creating a local sake with a nice taste that will put a smile on everyone's face.

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...
