In winter in Naganohara, a cold, dry, strong wind called `Joshu no Karakkaze' blows. The representative brand, Higen, is said to have a unique astringency and smooth taste due to this harshly cold climate. Cold climate means also brewing at colder temperatures which gives more elegant fruity and floral tones to sake. The sake brewery is made with great care based on the concept of `a sake brewery that brings the scenery of the foothills of Mt. Asama to everyone.'
