The Hanabusa is made from Yamada Nishiki rice grown organically by the Moriki’s which is polished to 50% to create a refined sake. Rumiko-san uses special techniques in the kōji room, such as using ‘futa’ the small wooden boxes for kōji production rather than the more usual large boxes as she wants all of her sake to have character and structure. Hanabusa has a soft aroma of aniseed and fresh apple with a palate that provides fresh, smooth flavour with elegant sweetness with a hint of blanched almond and fresh apple and a long, warm finish. An amazing balance of finesse and structure.
