first Yamadanishiki rice made in Yamanashi

Taikan sake brewery is in Yamanashi Prefecture. King of the sake rice "Yamadanishiki" is usually growned in Okayama, Hyogo, Fukuoka prefecture. Because of the weather Yamanashi prefecture is not suitable for growing Yamadanishiki rice, however in Autumn last year some of the local societies and university finally made a success to grow Yamadanishiki rice. Children from local school helped harvesting rice and after that, Taikan sake brewery made Junmai sake with first ever harvested local Yamadanishiki rice. Children drawn original labels and it was sold only in local shops in Yamanashi prefecture. It would be such a nice touch if there is more those cute sake labels....

山梨県の大冠酒造(山梨県南アルプス市、大沢慶暢（よしのぶ）社長）が、今まで気候上上手く作る事が出来なかった酒米、山田錦の栽培に成功し、純米酒を造りました。地元の園児達が稲刈りを体験し、出来た日本酒には子供達の手書きのラベル。
この純米酒、ご当地限定で２月から販売されました。
こんなかわいいラベルのお酒、もっとあっても良いような気がします。
