Tsuyuhakaze is a sake-specific rice developed in 1962 but had lost popularity in approximately 20 years due to it being hard to grow. Revived in 2001 with the cooperation of the local brewing association, local farmers, the government of Nara, and the Agricultural Association of Nara, and is gaining in popularity in use with the local brewers.
