The sake's name, "Tama no Hikari," is a combination of the character "Tama" (ball) from Kumano Hayatama Shrine in Kishu, where the founder Nakaya Rokuzaemon worshipped, and the character "Hikari" (light) from Amaterasu Omikami, the goddess of honor, the daughter of Izanagi and Izanami. It's said that the shrine was bestowed by the chief priest with the wish that the shrine would "reflect and shine the light of the divine spirit." The sake uses carefully selected sake-brewing rice, including Yamadanishiki, Omachi from Okayama, and Sansai from Kyoto, all sourced directly. The sake is carefully polished in-house to preserve the rice's core, resulting in the highest quality rice flavor. The brewing water is underground water from the Momoyama Hills, resulting in smooth Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Daiginjo sakes. They enhance the flavor of a wide variety of dishes, making them a great accompaniment to meals. You can enjoy the fullness of the rice even more by drinking it cold, or warm or hot. The current logo is based on the diamond ring that appears at the moment when light is brought back to the darkened world after a total solar eclipse. It embodies the desire to be an indispensable presence that illuminates daily life like the sun.
