Nakano Tokusen Kunizakari Junmai Ginjō Handagō Yeast 1801 (特撰國盛 純米吟醸 半田郷 酵母１８０１) is made by polishing Wakamizu, an Aichi sake rice variety, to 55% and slowly brewing it at low temperatures. It has a gorgeous aroma unique to ginjō-brewing and the rich flavour of junmai.
Handagō uses Wakamizu, a rice grain grown in the Chita region. The rice-polishing ratio was carefully adjusted so as not to let the aroma overpower its taste. Handagō pairs well not only with meat and seafood but also with a wide variety of dishes. Reminiscent of Japan's characteristic seasons, Handagō's mellow aroma and well-rounded sweetness are delectable when paired with food.
