Ohwazamono is a Junmai Daiginjo from Michisakari, made with 100% Japanese-grown Miyama Nishiki rice polished to 37%. The carefully selected rice is polished like a fine sword, and the result is a refined, very dry sake with a sake meter value of +15. It has a gentle aroma, a soft mouthfeel and a clean, light finish, true to the house aim of a sake that supports a meal and invites the next glass. Serve chilled.

About the brewery
Michisakari brews in Kasahara, Tajimi, in eastern Gifu, and traces its founding to the An'ei era of the late Edo period. The house is known almost entirely for dry sake, aiming for one that supports a meal and invites the next glass rather than dominating the table, with sweetness, acidity, umami, bitterness and astringency held in balance.
