Koshi no Homare “90” Blue
Niigata prefecture
Embraces natural flavors with elegance
Hara Brewing Company wanted a refined experience without sacrificing the flavor of the rice. To achieve this, they polished the rice used for koji — responsible for converting starch to sugar to make alcohol — to 60%, and left the rest of the brewing rice at 90%. It’s also unpasteurized, undiluted and not filtered with charcoal fining. The result is an easy-to-drink sake with acidity, effervescence, and the gentle sweetness of white peach.

Hara Brewing Company
Founded in 1814, this Niigata brewery has seen its fair share of natural disasters, from fires to earthquakes, but they didn’t let that stop them. The brewers rebuilt the brewery each time it was damaged, and their passion never fizzled. In fact, the fourth owner, Kichiro, created the company motto of “Sake that brings happiness” after he lost the brewery to a fire in 1911. Today, the brewers hope their Koshi no Homare brand can bring joy and luck to anyone who drinks it. The brewery is known for its soft water from Mount Yoneyama, and for developing their own brands of rice.
