Hakutsuru “Shoun”
Hyogo prefecture
Perfection in a bottle
If you're looking for perfection in a bottle, you've found it. This Daiginjo reaches your nose with a blend of pear, apples, and peach. A delicious pear flavor graces your tongue and deepens the more you drink. The top grade "Yamada Nishiki" rice is creatively brewed to produce a complex sake you'd be proud to serve to any guest.
