[Hakutsuru] Junmai Daiginjo 16% (720ml)

Hakutsuru Junmai Daiginjo has a delicate aroma with notes of fresh fruits such as apple and pear. On the palate, it is smooth and refined with a silky texture and balanced acidity. The finish is crisp and clean, with a slight nutty note.

This sake is a junmai daiginjo, which means that it is made from at least 50% polished rice and contains no added alcohol. It is made with a variety of rice specially developed by Hakutsuru, as well as with underground water from the Rokko mountain range, which is low in iron but rich in phosphorus, calcium and potassium, making it a hard water suitable for brewing sake.

In Hakutsuru breweries, the manufacturing processes such as washing, steaming, malting, fermenting and pressing are done by hand, and all the yeast used comes from home-breeding including a yeast specially developed to ferment slowly at low temperature, which is ideal for preserving the delicate aromas while brewing a daiginjo.

This sake should be served chilled and goes well with light dishes such as sushi, sashimi, seafood, or grilled vegetables.
