Hakusan Junmai Daiginjo Sake (720ml)

The Hakusan is a very special Junmai Daiginjo sake, as it scores with a balanced symbiosis of fruit, rice flavor and a nice portion of umami. Not only the unusual bottle design is impressive, but also the fine, elegant taste. With a rice polish of 50% and the use of Yamada Nishiki rice, which is only used for the production of premium sake of the highest quality, Hakusan is a fine drop for special occasions. It comes from Ishikawa Prefecture, which is famous for producing high-quality sake. 

Description

The producer of Hakusan Junmai Daiginjo sake is the Manzairaku brewery. It is located in Hakusan, at the foot of the mountain of the same name. The area is famous for its clear and medium-hard water, which is particularly suitable for sake brewing. The brewery has existed since the Edo period and was founded in 1716. There are around 35 sake breweries in Ishikawa Prefecture, which have a special craftsmanship and produce fine and complex sake. The traditional art of brewing is preserved here. At the same time, they are also facing up to the challenges of modernity. Most breweries are small and can only produce small quantities. Hakusan Junmai Daiginjo has a powerful, silky-fine aroma. It has fruity notes of honeydew melon, pear and cherry blossom and a refined, full-bodied finish.

Enjoy the Hakusan Junmai Daiginjo Sake well chilled in a special sake glass or alternatively in a white wine glass.
