Fuchu Homare (Wataribune)
As you bring the cup close, a gorgeous, fruit-like ginjo aroma wafts toward you. With a single sip, the plump, savory umami of the rice spreads thickly across the palate, while the deep flavor—carefully brewed at low temperatures—leaves a slow, lingering finish. It is a Junmai sake from Ishoka that provides a warm sense of fulfillment with every sip. The raw material is the legendary sake rice known as 'Wataribune.' Fuchu Homare, working alongside contract farmers, revived this variety—the progenitor of Yamada Nishiki—in the early Heisei era. The power of rice grown with immense time and care is concentrated in this single cup. Founded in 1854, this brewery hails from a sake-producing region once known as the 'Nada of Kanto.' It is equally delicious when chilled or when its umami expands in warm sake (nurukan). It is a flavorful, nourishing cup that invites you to take your time and savor it.
