Kitagawa Honke Harunomai Junmai Ginjō Furisode

Kitagawa Honke Harunomai Junmai Ginjō Furisode (北川本家 春の舞 純米吟醸 ふり袖) is a limited spring sake made of rice grown in Kyōto Prefecture, using traditional techniques. It is slightly dry and has a taste described as "hannari" (はんなり), the Kyōto vernacular for "bright" and "cheerful."

Kitagawa Honke Brewery was founded in 1657 by Funaya Shirobee (鮒屋四郎兵衛), who ran lodgings for river passengers on the Uji River near the Kangetsukyo Bridge. Funaya no Sake (鮒屋の酒) became a well-known brand and was exported to Osaka and Edo (modern-day Tōkyō). Kitagawa Honke produces a sake called Tomiō (富翁), a name taken from and inspired by the Chinese 'Four Books and Five Classics' (四書五經). The name signifies "those who are rich in spirit will enjoy a long, happy life." Since 1983, when the company first put Tomiō forward at the Annual Japan Sake Awards, their flagship sake has won 18 gold awards. In 1996, Kitagawa Honke opened a so-called "antenna shop" (アンテナショップ) named Okinaya (おきな屋), where they sell their rice and sake.
