Hachinohe Brewery is notable for its role as one of the first sake breweries to practice entirely sustainable methods, with all local ingredients and Koji produced in-house. Hachinohe is located in Aomori Prefecture, known across Japan for its apple orchards, and the brewery pays tribute to their terroir with this Junmai Ginjo bursting with apple notes. Refreshing acidity melts gently into a sea of umami, resulting in a versatile sake, but shines in particular next to sushi and sashimi, especially with fattier cuts of fish.
