Established in 1998, the "Mutsuhassen" brand is well-known among the locals of Aomori Prefecture. This "Mutsuhassen Tokubetsu-junmai" sake is a particularly popular local favorite. Brewed from a blend of dinner rice "Masshigura" and regional sake rice "Hanafubuki," the sake uses water sourced from Hachinohe's famed Kanizawa district. Firmly balancing acidity and flavor, this sake has a soft, banana-like aroma and refreshing aftertaste that fills the mouth after each sip. In 2019, it won first place in the main category of the "The Fine Sake Awards Japan". The sake also won first in the Premium Kan Sake (45 ℃) category of the Kan Sake Award contest.
