Founded in 1920, Hayashi Honten is a young brewery in sake terms. In fact, they are considered to be among the more dynamic and innovative brewers, whilst still honouring the traditional methods and doing everything by hand. Their ‘Purple Warrior’ is made using the traditional Yamahai method of initiating fermentation, which give this sake a greater intensity of flavour than is found in sake produced using more modern and efficient techniques.
