🍢Most sake is pressed.
Hana Abi is allowed to fall.

Nanyo Jozo has brewed in Hanyu, Saitama since 1860 β€” a family operation making only around 250 koku of Hana Abi a year. It's separated by the shizuku method: free-fall rather than pressing, far slower and far less efficient, but it leaves the aromatics and texture intact. Availability is famously unreliable; a trip to the brewery guarantees nothing.

This is the Yamada Nishiki expression β€” muroka (unfiltered), nama (unpasteurised), genshu (undiluted).

Aroma: Ripe peach and melon over intense florals.
Palate: Lush and full β€” custard richness, pear and strawberry.
Finish: Sweet-edged, long, generous.

This is not a restrained sake.
It's for drinkers who want everything the rice will give β€” where the slowest method meets the most generous style.

Serve well chilled, and keep it cold β€” it's unpasteurised.

One of the hardest bottles in Japan to get onto a shelf.
