Product details
Tae No Hana “Sublime Beauty” Nama Junmai Arabashiri Kimoto Genshu is a powerful, traditionally crafted release from Moriki Shuzo, led by pioneering brewmaster Rumiko Moriki, Japan’s first female toji. When Rumiko and her husband Hideki took over the family operation in 1989, they revitalized the brewery through resilience and innovation—gaining national attention with support from manga artist Oze Akira, whose encouragement helped build a devoted following. Crafted using the traditional kimoto method, this nama (unpasteurized) arabashiri release captures the first run of the press, delivering bold structure and vibrant freshness. Bottled undiluted to preserve its full-bodied character, Tae No Hana reflects heritage, determination, and a deep respect for time-honored brewing practices.
On the palate, this expression is robust and savory-driven, showcasing lively acidity balanced by rich texture. Notes of crisp apple, freshly cut greens, and rice bran unfold with depth and complexity, creating a layered and engaging profile. Its dynamic character evolves beautifully across temperatures—bright and energetic when chilled, rounder and more expressive as it approaches room temperature, where its umami depth truly shines. The finish is long, structured, and satisfying, making Tae No Hana Sublime Beauty an exceptional choice for those seeking a bold, traditionally rooted Japanese rice brew with both power and finesse.
