Hohai

Hirosaki's local sake, 'Hohai.' Its name is said to originate from a folk song called 'Hohai-bushi' passed down in the Tsugaru region. It is brewed by Miura Sake Brewery, founded in 1930. The greatest characteristic lies in the sake rice. This rice, known as 'Hohaimai,' is grown only within Aomori Prefecture and is so rare that currently only this brewery uses it. Their commitment is so great that they even polish the rice in-house to extract its maximum umami. With the sweetness and fullness of the rice followed by a clean, crisp aftertaste, this single bottle carefully brewed by a small brewery never ceases to attract sake fans across the country. The meticulous craftsmanship, which can only be preserved because it is a small brewery, shines through. It is a local sake that you must taste when visiting Hirosaki.
