Okuhida BK Tanrei Junmai Ginjo

Okuhida BK Tanrei Junmai Ginjō (奥飛騨 BK淡麗純米吟醸 Blue) is made of Gifu's own Hidahomare sake milled to 60%. With BK standing for "black", this dry sake has a refreshingly smooth and light taste. It is versatile and can be consumed chilled to 10°C and heated up to 50°. Best paired with savoury flavours, like soy sauce, tartar, cheese, fried chicken, grilled meat, sukiyaki, sweet and sour pork, etc.

Since its establishment in 1720, Okuhida Shuzō has operated its sake brewery in Kanayama, Gero, which prospered during the Edo period as a post town. Their sake is made from clear underground water that could only be obtained where the clear-flowing waters of the Hida River and Maze River converge. Centring on locally produced Hidahomare rice—an excellent rice variety for sake-making—Okuhida's representative sake brands are Okuhida and Hatsumidori. As a sake-making museum, Okuhida's Brewery Headquarters was designated by Gifu Prefecture as a "Street Corner Art Museum", where there are old account books and various precious artefacts from days gone by on display, including old sake-making tools and Girls' Festival dolls dating back some two-hundred years.
