About Hananomai Brewery

Founded in 1864 by Ichisaburo Takada in Aratama Village, Totomi Province, Hananomai Brewery has been a cornerstone of Japanese sake-making for over 150 years. The name "Hananomai" pays homage to Hana no Mai, an ancient votive dance native to the Tenryu River region. The word "hana" also symbolizes the rice plant’s flower—an emblem of life and prosperity, reflecting prayers for a bountiful harvest.

Hananomai’s commitment to its roots is evident in its use of 100% locally sourced rice from Shizuoka Prefecture. Renowned for its fertile lands, Shizuoka is a hub of premium agricultural produce, including high-quality rice, tea, and mandarin oranges. By using this local rice, combined with state-of-the-art brewing techniques and the skillful artistry of its toji (master brewers), Hananomai delivers sake that embodies the essence of Shizuoka’s natural bounty.

Hananomai Zesty Bubbles: A Sparkling Delight

Perfectly crafted to elevate the ordinary, Hananomai Zesty Bubbles is a sparkling sake that blends tradition with a modern twist. Its fine carbonation, achieved through secondary fermentation in the bottle, creates a refreshing and natural bubbly texture.

This sparkling sake balances the rich flavors of rice-derived sweetness and acidity, offering a versatile beverage suited to diverse tastes. It is particularly appealing to those who may not usually drink alcohol, thanks to its light, approachable profile and modern packaging.

Flavor Variants:

• Yuzu: Infused with the zesty sourness of Japan’s beloved citrus fruit, this variety combines the gentle sweetness of rice with a refreshing tang, delivering a crisp and invigorating flavor experience.
• Melon: The muskmelon variant captures the juicy, fruity essence of melon, complemented by the sake’s natural sweetness for a luxurious and aromatic treat.
