Harushika “Junmai Daiginjo”
Nara prefecture
Fruity, silky and crystal clear
We added this junmai daiginjo to the Tippsy catalog due to popular demand, so you know it has to be delicious! Brewed in a very clean Nanbu Toji style, this sake uses Yamadanishiki grown in Hyogo prefecture, and has all the qualities you want in a junmai daiginjo: a fruity aroma, a silky, expanding mouthfeel and a crystal clean finish. This sake has taken home the gold at the Delicious Japanese Sake Awards multiple times.

Imanishi Seibee Shoten
Imanishi Seibee Shoten’s brand Harushika receives its name from a sake god that comes to reside in the area. In this story, the god rides into their prefecture on a deer — a motif expressed in the brand’s labeling, gratitude and approach to sake. Established in 1884 with the philosophy “Polish the rice, polish the water, polish the skill and polish the heart,” they were one of the first sake breweries to use the “morohaku” method of brewing entirely with polished rice. They continue to make sake in line with their vision that is clean and clear in flavor.
