About the Sake (from the Brewer):

This sake is brewed using rare rice cultivated by Hiroshi Arai in the Satoyama region near Maruyama in Mitsui Town, Wajima City, where natural cultivation methods without fertilizers or pesticides are practiced. Growing rice through natural farming, influenced heavily by environmental factors, often involves challenging conditions. The resulting rice, however, possesses a vibrant and refreshing flavor akin to a grassy meadow. This sake reflects these qualities of natural cultivation rice, delivering a transparent and pure taste with a unique sense of clarity. It’s a rare sake crafted from the rich natural landscape of Oku-Noto, Wajima.

About Hyuga Farm Cheese Factory:

They offer two types of fresh cheeses and five types of aged cheeses, including hard, washed, and blue varieties, all with a mild flavor suited to Japanese tastes.

Additional Information:
