Harushika “Sakura”

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.
