Hanatomoe Yon-Dan 2024
Established in 1912, Miyoshino Jozo produces a unique range of Sake. The current Toji [Master Brewer] is Teruaki Hashimoto, whose sake-making philosophy is very unique, with a strong emphasis on yeast. As with many of his sake the Hanatomoe utilises naturally occurring yeast, resulting in a sake with high acidity. Yon-Dan Shikomi or 4-stage fermentation is relatively rare in sake production, and in this case it gives the sake more body and intensity. This shows a wonderful aroma of mango fruit, impeccable balance of sweetness & acidity on the palate & great depth of flavour.

Miyoshino Jozo
Miyoshino Jozo was established in 1912. It is located in the heart of the Kii Peninsula under the impressive Mount Yoshino which is famous throughout Japan not only for it’s famous Buddist temple but also for the thousands of Sakura [Cherry Blossom] trees that cover it’s slopes. An amazing sight during blooming season.
