Intricate with a backbone

Daiginjo sake combines a fruity, floral, delicate aroma with a crystal clean finish. Legendary artwork by Sharaku Toshusai of kabuki character Yakkoedobee holding a “tokkuri” (sake carafe) is depicted on the label. Notes of white flowers and clean minerals culminate in what they call “kire,” an ethereal finish that makes you appreciate life’s fleeting moments. Pairing it with rich main dishes highlights its delicate, clean nature.

Hakutsuru Brewing Company

Hakutsuru Brewing Company was founded in 1743 in Nadagogo, an area with a Geographical Indication today. Using the blessings of the land and their exemplary pursuit of innovation, Hakutsuru has become one of the top-selling sake breweries in Japan. Whether it's doing deep research into water sources, building research facilities for proprietary yeast, or developing their own unique sake rice, this company goes above and beyond to be at the forefront of sake brewing. They’ve even expanded by becoming a major shareholder in Oregon’s craft sake brewery, SakeOne! All this makes Hakutsuru a brewery well worth checking out.
