Oita prefecture
This sake is undiluted and unfiltered, both choices made in order to preserve the freshest flavor possible. It is brewed from Hinohikari rice, which is actually table rice grown locally in the city of Usa in Oita prefecture. The resulting sake takes on a soft sweetness that is met with a balancing acidity. This fresh flavor won this sake gold at Fine Sake Awards four years in a row!
Wakabotan is made in Oita prefecture in the Kyushu region.
