In 3 words: Fresh vibrant fruity
The brewery's meticulous use water from the Takahashi River, and Asahira rice - full of the flavor of Okayama - produces deeply flavored sake, and this exciting Junmai Daiginjo is no exception. Funky yet smooth, this brew is bristling with the vibrancy and freshness that only a Nama Genshu can deliver. Heavy notes of strawberry yoghurt and red berries, with a backdrop of herbs on the nose. A buttery smooth mouthfeel with a peppery zing and lingering finish. This is a great starting point for those venturing into the world of unpasturised sake.

The Brewery
Hakutsuru
Hakutsuru have been creating fine sakes in Nada Japan since 1743, when a timber merchant named Mr. Jihei Kano began producing sake .The location is exceptionally well suited for making Japan’s finest sake because of the confluence of four geographic elements: locally grown sake rice, first-rate natural spring water, cold winds from the Rokkō mountains and a regional Toji brewing culture more than a thousand years strong known as NADAGOGO - a recognised geographical indication of quality.
