Hijiri Sake Brewery
HISTORY
Founded in 1841, Hijiri uses local spring water and only contract grown rice. The Kanto no Hana brand is a reference to the beautiful Maebashi Castle, given by the Shogun to the warriors of Gunma. Uniquely, all the Kanta no Hana sake start with 35% polished Hitomebore table rice then use varying polish rates and yeasts to achieve different styles. Their Hijirizm brand eschews polishing classifications altogether!
