Ubusuna 'Homase Shinojo' Namazake (720 ml)

This rare sake, miraculously restored in recent years, is brewed with "Homase," a native species of Kumamoto from the Edo period that was naturally cultivated on the company's own farmland and by farmers in the Kikuchi River system. This truly one-of-a-kind sake has a gorgeous aroma reminiscent of bananas and pineapples, and nuances created by the benefits of the land and the diversity of microorganisms including yeast, which overlap and resonate together as a complex flavor.

Homase" is an Edo Higo rice variety native to Kumamoto that has been revived in recent years. 1830, it was seeded in Higo Province (present-day Kumamoto Prefecture) during the Edo Period, and was actively cultivated in Higo Province and other parts of Kyushu. In 2017, farmers in Kumamoto Prefecture succeeded in reviving and cultivating the rice from only 40 grains of seed rice.
