Shichi Hon Yari “Junmai” Nama
Shiga prefecture
Bold, fresh and solid seasonal brew
This sake is an unpasteurized winter seasonal brew packed with freshness. The locally grown Tamasakae sake rice is not the easiest to work with, but in the hands of Shichi Hon Yari brewing team it is developed into a smooth, solid brew with a comforting umami on your palate. This particular brew has an upbeat dryness accompanied by hints of tropical fruit, like papaya or banana.

Tomita Brewing Company
Tomita Brewing Company came into being in 1534, and has been brewing sake using the same groundwater source since! The company’s brand Shichi Hon Yari, meaning “seven spears,” is named for seven great warlords who fought in a major battle on Shizugatake, the mountain near the brewery. Now into its 15th generation, Tomita Brewing Company’s current president Yasunobu Tomita visited wineries and breweries in the United States and Europe before training in sake brewing. This has allowed him to understand the value of local commitment and just how special it is to have truly locally brewed sake.
