The Kino River originates in Odaigahara and flows into the Kii Channel, nurturing the nature of the basin. Yoshimura Hideo Shoten has had a brewery on the banks of the river since 1914.
Sake brewed with the slightly soft subsoil water of the Kii-no-kawa River has a gentle taste and achieves the delicious and crisp flavour that is the goal of the brewery.
The brewery's toji, Akiko Fujita, is in charge of sake brewing. She is a Noto Touji who studied under the master craftsman Naohiko Noguchi, and is also an expert in Namaoto and Yamahai sake brewing. He is responsible for brands such as Kurumazaka, Teppoutai, Nihonjo and Negoro Sakura.

This sake is inspired by the cherry blossoms at Negoroji Temple, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, and has a gentle aroma reminiscent of apples, citrus and grains. The mouthfeel is fresh and slightly youthful. It has a pleasantly full umami and acidity, with a clean finish. The overall impression is slightly dry, with minerality and a short finish that complements the meal.
