This junmaishu was brewed because the owner raised a question to Hiraoka Toji (the master brewer) “Is it possible to make a delicious sake by serving it heated…”.
It is brewed using Gifu prefecture produced sake rice “Hida Homare” and “G Kobo” (yeast) also developed in Gifu. This junmaishu made purely from Gifu products and it goes well with good sharp taste dishes.
It is highly valued sake in Japan and overseas.

A bowl-shaped sake cup is recommended to bring out the sake's umami and sweetness. Earthenware and porcelain cups match well, too.
It matches well with Hida beef stake, Hida beef sukiyaki, and Hoba-miso (food seasoned with fermented soybean paste and grilled on magnolia leaves).
