Junmai Daiginjo Defined

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 Brewery

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.

Hakutsuru Hakutsuru Ukiyo-E

Ukiyo-e (ooh-kee-yoh-eh) is a Japanese woodblock print or painting of famous kabuki actors, beautiful women, travel landscapes and city life from the Edo period. Ukiyo-e is significant in expressing the sensual attributes of Japanese culture from 17th to 19th century.

ARTIST/CHARACTER

This woodblock print depicting the character of Umeomaru is so famous that it has become synonymous with aragoto, the flamboyant, powerful style of acting. It is one of the most sought-after roles by even contemporary kabuki actors. In 1796, artist Kabukido Enkyo portrayed Ichikawa Yaozo III as Umeomaru that showed a figure of fine appearance.
