“Hidahomare” rice is known for its large grain size and low protein content, which ensures that the sake brewed from it is delicate and refined. The brewing technique takes advantage of the rice’s characteristics and refines it to an ultra-high polish, fermenting it in the clear streams of Hida. The flavor slowly spreads in the mouth at first, then finishes cleanly and crisply, making it an excellent choice to pair with a wide range of dishes.
