Offering "Hydrangea Flower Yeast" Sake Tasting Set in Hakone, Famous for Its Hydrangeas, Starting June 1st (Saturday)

May.22.24

From June 1st (Saturday), the two facilities of Kinnotake Sengokuhara and Kinnotake Tonosawa will offer a tasting set of "Hydrangea Flower Yeast Sake" for 1,980 yen (tax included) to customers visiting Hakone during the rainy season.

June is typically a rainy month with no holidays, falling during the rainy season. In considering how to make the rainy season in Hakone enjoyable, we established a connection with Seto Brewery, which brews sake using yeast extracted from the town flower of nearby Kaisei Town, the hydrangea. This led to the decision to offer a unique sake tasting set made with "hydrangea yeast," fitting for Hakone, renowned for its hydrangeas.

Sake made with "hydrangea flower yeast" is known for its distinctive floral aroma and fresh, fruity acidity. By comparing different sakes made with the same yeast but varying in rice type and brewing methods, customers can appreciate the unique characteristics of each sake. As fireflies start to appear around June, we hope guests can enjoy this unique sake experience at Kinnotake Tonosawa, making it perfect for Father’s Day celebrations or for international visitors wanting to experience Japanese culture and the rainy charm of Hakone.
