Sake for prosperous business

Hakutsuru “Ukiyoe” Junmai highlights the umami of the rice, with some soft spice notes. Depicted on the label is Okita Naniwaya, a poster girl who brings prosperous business, drawn by Utamaro Kitagawa. Warming the sake will enhance its sweetness and mellow its sharpness, while chilling it will highlight its subtle fruitiness. Unexpected, happy pairings for this sake are carne asada, chicken tikka masala and gourmet cheese plates.

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.
