Hakutsuru Yamada Nishiki Tokubetsu Junmai
HAKUTSURU SAKE BREWING
This Tokubetsu Junmai sake is crafted using 100% Yamada Nishiki rice from Hyogo Prefecture, renowned as the king of sake rice. Its large, starchy grains contribute to a rich, aromatic profile highlighted by toasted almond notes on the nose. Smooth and full-bodied on the palate, it finishes with a clean, clear aftertaste. The well-balanced flavour complements a variety of dishes, from sukiyaki and tofu to grilled meats, tempura, and risotto. Versatile in serving, it can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed. Presented in a classic green bottle, it embodies the elegance and tradition of premium Hyogo sake.
