Perfectly sippable

Hakutsuru is a gentle and incredibly drinkable sake. Its nose is an aromatic concoction of melon, grape, and sweet rice. Each sip is balanced with a rounded-out dry finish. The meticulous care used during brewing is reflected in the light complexity of the brew. Hakutsuru is charming, whether served cold or room temperature and amiable to everyone.
