Hakutsuru “Toji-Kan”
Hyogo prefecture
Luxury for everybody
“Toji-Kan,” meaning “Brewer’s Pride” It’s crafted under the direction of Hakutsuru’s legendary brewmaster Masao Nakazawa, who created a luxurious sake he and the other brewers could enjoy after a long day’s work. The medium body delivers a mellow expression balanced between umami and sweetness that is slightly dry. Different faces of the sake come out when served at different temperatures.
