Kabuki celebrity worthy

With a famous print by Kabukido Enkyo on the label, depicting kabuki character Umeomaru in 1796, this might be the sophisticated junmai daiginjo you were looking for. The brewery uses either Yamadanishiki or their own Hakutsurunishiki for their rice koji, as well as their proprietary yeast, resulting in a silky texture and floral aroma of melon, apple and licorice. Go all in on Japanese food pairing — you won’t be disappointed.

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.
