The Hirase brewery stands at the mountain foot of Mt. Tenjinyama in Takayama. It 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!
