Hakutsuru Sho-Une Junmai Daiginjo Sake (300mL) is a premium Japanese sake from Hakutsuru, a brewery founded in Kobe in 1743. It is made with Yamada Nishiki sake rice polished to 50% and bottled at 15.5% ABV. The blue bottle presents the refined Sho-Une expression in a compact format.
The aroma is graceful and floral, with notes of baked pear, light citrus, and delicate rice. A smooth, balanced palate follows, combining gentle fruit with a clean structure and a polished texture. The finish is light, dry, and refreshing, allowing the subtle fragrance and careful rice polishing to remain clear.
Serve it chilled or at cool room temperature in a sake glass or small wine glass. It pairs naturally with sashimi, sushi, shellfish, steamed fish, or simply seasoned pork. The 300 mL bottle is well suited to a focused tasting, a two-person meal, or an introduction to Junmai Daiginjo sake.
