The Hirase brewery stands at the mountain foot of Mt. Tenjinyama in Takayama. Its is old, so old in fact, that nobody quite remembers when it was founded. And it offers a wide range of sake with this one being the cream of the crop. Brewed from pure high quality Yamada Nishiki rice with a milling rate of 35%, this is as high quality a sake as you are likely to find anywhere! If you are one of those who settles for nothing less than the best, give this a try!
