"Hakutsuru Blanc" is a sake crafted by Hakutsuru Sake Brewing Co., Ltd.
Using a hybrid yeast created by crossing sake yeast and wine yeast, it is said to be finished as a light sake reminiscent of white wine.
Characteristics of "Hakutsuru Blanc"
The characteristics of "Hakutsuru Blanc" are summarized below.
1. Refreshing, fruity aroma
2. Gentle sweetness
3. Crisp acidity
4. Low-alcohol (8%) Junmai sake
Because "Hakutsuru Blanc" uses a hybrid yeast combining sake yeast and wine yeast, it achieves a refreshing, fruity aroma not found in conventional sake.
Furthermore, by using white koji, it contains plenty of citric acid that tastes delicious when chilled, allowing you to enjoy a crisp acidity that pairs wonderfully with the refreshing aroma.
It is a sake that pairs excellently with Western cuisine, such as cheese, white fish carpaccio, chicken stewed in tomato sauce, and pasta genovese.
