This sake is brewed from the Aiyama rice variety, which was created in 1941 at the sake rice test site of the Hyogo Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station. Its main production area is Hyogo Prefecture, where it originated.

As it is a difficult variety to grow, it is a rare variety that is not often grown elsewhere.

This rice trades at a high price among sake rice varieties and is also known as the "diamond of sake rice". With a high white core expression and good water absorption, Aiyama dissolves easily in the mash. This characteristic, combined with rice flavor and sweetness, results in a sake with a rich and mellow flavor.

Our perfect pairings : This sake is perfect for white poultry, white fish and creamy sauces.
