Sado Hakko Inc.
Sweet fermented rice drink and cloudy sake nurtured by Sado Island's nature where the Toki crested ibises fly.
Mountains over 900m and pristine cedar forests spread out along the Sotokaifu Coast, where our shop is located. Amazake (sweet, fermented rice drink) and cloudy sake are made entirely with Sado-produced koshihikari rice grown with abundant water directly from the mountains. Rice is fermented by combining it with the lactic acid naturally contained in the air, and using the yamahai sake brewing method (utilizing natural yeast without a steamed rice-mashing component). Rice on Sado Island tastes better when the water source and rice paddies are in close proximity. We sell Seki Cape wakame seaweed, too. Seki Cape wakame grows slowly at a relatively low temperature while absorbing a lot of minerals., and is harvested almost one month later than the usual kind.
