Yume no Kaori

Oftentimes, rice strains are developed to compete against a more well known, but not local strain. Yume no Kaori is one of those cases, designed in 1991 to be the Fukushima answer to Gohyakumangoku. The name of the rice means “Dream Incense,” and as it would suggest, it tends to produce a sake with well-balanced aromatics and flavors.
