ABOUT

Most Junmai Daiginjo tastes pretty similar because they use the same rice grown in the same region. Instead, Hijiri uses only the best table rice for the Kanto no Hana brand. Yup, they use a prized eating rice grown just a mile away called Hitomebore. The rice used for the koji is polished to just 35% remaining – the most of any table rice! There’s lots of umami and complexity left though to support a highly aromatic competition style yeast. Put it all together and the Prosperity punches way above its price.

SERVING

Chilled or cool in a white wine stem. Just fine on it’s own or with salads, white fish, sushi.

BREWERY

Founded in 1841, Hijiri uses local spring water and only
contract grown rice. The Kanto no Hana brand is a reference to
the beautiful Maebashi Castle, given by the Shogun to the
warriors of Gunma. Uniquely, all the Kanta no Hana sake start
with 35% polished Hitomebore table rice then use varying
polish rates and yeasts to achieve different styles. Their
Hijirizm brand eschews polishing classifications altogether!
