Shichi Hon Yari, The Seven Spearsmen, Junmai Hiyaoroshi, Fall Seasonal “Autumn Assassin”, 720ml

Embrace the flavors of fall with Hiyaoroshi sake! This small-batch, seasonal sake is bottled in the spring and spends a perfect six months maturing over summer. Layers of labor gradually open up to a lively, smooth taste that pairs well with a range of foods. This sake is only available in the Fall, usually landing in the States mid-october. Yasunobo Tomita, the 15th generation of the family, is committed to making sake using only local ingredients. Yamada Nishiki grown by contract farmers in Shiga prefecture is used to make this sake. Stored as namazake for six months after brewing and released in the fall, this is another specialty type of sake that is authentic and rare.
