(伯楽星 純米吟醸 / はくらくせい じゅんまいぎんじょう)
Description:
This sake embodies the pinnacle of “the ultimate food pairing sake.” Hakurakusei Junmai Ginjo offers a delicate fruit aroma that spreads gently across the palate, accompanied by a refreshing citrus-like acidity that enhances its crisp finish. With a low sugar content, its freshness and subtle youthful astringency become perfectly expressive when paired with food. The use of flat rice polishing results in an outstandingly clear and sharp finish, cleansing the palate beautifully. Enjoy it chilled to fully complement delicious dishes.
