A refined Aramasa Private Lab Hinotori is a luxurious Kijōshu from Akita’s Aramasa Brewery. Crafted using sake instead of water in fermentation and aged in oak barrels, it delivers lush tropical aromas of mango, honeydew melon, subtle vanilla and pear. With layered sweetness balanced by gentle acidity, it presents a velvety mouthfeel and long, elegant finish. Bottled at approximately 13–14% ABV using Miyamanishiki rice polished to 55%/60%, this limited-release sake is rich yet graceful — ideal for collectors, gifting, or those seeking artisanal Japanese brewing mastery.
