Another outstanding release from Moriki Shuzo. Hanabusa Yamahai is made from Yamada Nishiki rice grown organically by the Moriki’s. Hanabusa Yamahai has fresh ferment notes with an elegant, balanced palate and hint if spice. Long fresh, acid driven finish. When contrasted to the Tae no Hana and Suppin no Rumiko series, expect a softer, more classically refined style with a touch of that traditional ferment richness.
