HOW TO ENJOY
PAIRING
It pairs beautifully with grilled eel, miso-marinated black cod, or fatty tuna, as the sake's acidity cuts through richness and complements savory depth.
SERVING
To fully appreciate the evolving nature of Hououbiden Black Phoenix, it’s best served slightly chilled, around 10–15°C (50–59°F), which allows the layered aromas and flavors of Aiyama rice to gradually reveal themselves
ABOUT THE BREWERY

Once known as Mitamura Village, this area is blessed with vast, beautiful rice fields and pure spring water from the Nikko Mountains. It is from this rich land that Houou Biden was born.
