From the beginning, haccoba has envisioned establishing a brewery in Belgium driven by the romantic idea of blending Belgium’s diverse, time-honored beer culture with the traditions of Japanese sake to create something entirely new.

With this goal in mind, last season haccoba's team developed "hanamoto bretta", a sake that embraces wild fermentation. It features a flower-based mash made with native Japanese hops, lactic acid fermentation and secondary fermentation in oak barrels using wild yeast and Brettanomyces.
With a tartness and wild character reminiscent of lambic Belgium’s iconic spontaneously fermented beer, hanamoto bretta offers a truly unique and compelling flavor experience.

For this special edition, haccoba collaborated with Green Roots Co., Ltd. to use raspberries from Yajima in Fukushima Prefecture. In Belgium, lambic beers brewed with raspberries are known as framboise and are beloved for their balance of fruit and funk.

This version features the sweet floral aroma of fresh raspberries, followed by a juicy sweet-and-sour taste and a wild earthy undertone. It’s a brew that evokes the comfort and complexity of both lambic beer and natural wine.

Handling Precautions
・Please refrigerate immediately upon arrival.
・If stored for a long period of time, the yeast activity may cause the contents to overflow. Please chill well and open slowly to release the gas inside.
• Sediment (alcohol components) may settle at the bottom of the bottle. Gently mix the contents before pouring to enhance the flavour.
