Bentenmusume (辨天娘) is one of the smallest breweries in Japan. It is a tiny Kura tucked away in the mountain forests of Wakasa town, in Tottori prefecture, owned and run by the Ohta Family – who all pitch in to help make saké in the winter and are out in the fields growing rice in the summer. They are dedicated to making traditional 'Shoku-chū shu'. The brewery is very family-centric, and even their sake tanks are named 'first daughter', 'second daughter' and so on, with each treated like their own child. Each bottle is single origin – the rice they use is all grown locally in Wakasa town, and on each sake bottle, alongside the ingredients, is the name of the farmer who grew the rice. Wakasa is surrounded by beautiful mountains with lush green forests, and is blessed with crystal clear water and excellent rice fields.

Bentenmusume created a small batch of saké exclusively for Australia in the 2020/2021 saké season. This little nigori sake is part of this special batch. For those who aren't yet addicted to nigori, the cloudy-ness is rich in umami, amino-acids and nutrients. Feels good tastes good is good.
