Made with rice polished to at least 50% and sometimes much more, junmai daiginjo sake is created using only rice, water, koji and yeast. An ultra-premium sake grade.
Hakutsuru is located in the famed Nada district of Kobe, a leading sake production area. The name Hakutsuru means “white crane”. The crane’s reserved character and graceful appearance along with the cultural association of seeing a crane in flight as an auspicious sign, makes the crane an ideal symbol to represent the excellent quality of Hakutsuru’s sake.
Driven to create a one of a kind sake rice strain to rival Yamada-Nishiki (“the king of rice”), Hakutsuru spent over 10 years developing their own exceptional Hakutsuru Nishiki rice, becoming the first successful crossbreed of Yamadaho and Wataribune in 70 years.
TASTING NOTES
A luxurious sake, mouth-filling and full of flavor, yet delicately refined. Enjoy the elegance of refreshing floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom and savor a hint of vanilla sweetness in the extra-long finish.
SUGGESTED PAIRINGS
Sushi, sashimi, raw oysters, calamari, apricot almond tart.
