Hato Masamune

As soon as you take a sip, the rich umami of the rice spreads gently and bountifully across your palate. It features a mellow, savory profile that is smooth and easy to drink without becoming tiring—this is Hato Masamune, brewed by the only sake brewery in Towada. The brewing water is the pure subsoil water from Hakkoda and Oirase. Using this local water, Aomori-grown sake rice such as 'Hanashimai' and 'Hanafubuki', and the skilled hands of a Toji (master brewer) born in the region, they continue to craft authentic local sake. The name originates from the cherished tradition of treating a single white dove, which resided in the brewery's Shinto altar, as a guardian deity. It is a truly lovely anecdote. Whether served chilled or warmed, the umami of the rice permeates your body with warmth. This is a drink that has long graced the dining tables of Towada.
