HANA Lychee Flavored Sake 750ml is brewed in Berkeley, California by Takara Sake USA. The producer starts with junmai sake made through traditional brewing techniques, using rice from the Sacramento Valley and water from the Sierra Nevada mountains, then blends it with natural lychee flavor. Bottled at 8% ABV, this 750ml expression comes in HANA’s smoky bottle with kimono-inspired label artwork.
The producer describes captivating lychee aromatics and a sweet, full-bodied palate of ripe lychee, yellow peach, and lemon-lime. Its fruit-forward profile and smooth texture are designed for chilled service, either on their own or over ice. Takara also recommends HANA Lychee as a base for frozen cocktails or mixed into iced tea, while tropical fruit desserts and cheesecake offer complementary food pairings. Serve it chilled at about 50°F to emphasize the pleasant aroma and composed sweetness. This bottle contains 750ml of flavored sake and can be gently cooled before opening for a bright, aromatic pour.
