Yucho Shuzo, based in Nara Prefecture — the birthplace of sake — takes on classical brewing methods with its brand "Mizuhana." This bottle is a collaboration with EUREKA, a bar beloved by sake fans, brewed based on an entry from the year 1569 in the historical document the Tamon-in Diary. A distinctive sake with a plump sweetness like rice or roasted sweet potato and the toastiness of toast, accented by a nuance of herbal medicine.
