Nara prefecture
The sakura (cherry blossom), the national flower of Japan, was chosen to represent this universally approachable junmai. Hinohikari table rice provides ample umami with underlying sweetness. Herb-seasoned sautéed vegetables, mushrooms and meats would be a great pairings, as this sake compliments dishes that honor the inherent flavors of the ingredients. Enjoy it chilled for refreshing notes, and warm to bring out the umami.

Imanishi Seibee Shoten’s brand Harushika receives its name from the moniker of a sake god that comes to reside in the area. In this story, the god rides into their prefecture on the animal they are most famous for—a deer! This deer motif is expressed in their 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 continue to make sake in line with their vision that is clean and clear in flavor.
