Hakutsuru “Draft”
Hyogo prefecture
Fresh enough to become classic
Draft sake provides a refined freshness that is light and smooth. It reaches its cultivated state by being aged after a one month brew process. A sweet rice, almost creamy nose gives way to mixture of melon and coconut. Served chilled for a vibrant drinking sensation.
