Hayashi Honten is a new and innovative brewery in the city of Gifu, Japan. Their driving focus is on ‘remembering the old while embracing the new’ – a sentiment very evident in their work as they produce new and exciting products using old school techniques and crafting everything by hand. They source their water from the Nagara and Kiso rivers which flow through the city of Gifu from theDainichigatakeMountains, or the ‘Japanese Alps.’

The Golden Amber is a very special sake – it has been aged for 12 years, 8 in tank and a final fourin oak barrels designed for making bourbon. It has all the expected secondary and tertiary flavours from the oakand ageingof vanilla, almond, caramel and a certain smoky, spiciness.
