Niizawa jouzouten Hakurakusei Junmai Ginjo Sake NV (720ml)

JAPAN : MIYAGI PREFECTURE Kura no Hana LIGHT-BODIED, SEMI-DRY, MELON, POMELO, MINERAL GRAIN Niizawa Jozoten founded the Hakurakusei brand in 2002 around a single idea: sake that makes food taste better rather than competing with it. Made from Kura no Hana — a sake rice variety bred in Miyagi Prefecture — milled to 55%, this Junmai Ginjo carries the house fingerprint: clean, faintly citrusy, with a cut of acidity that keeps it fresh across multiple courses. Toji Nanami Watanabe has led production since 2018; under her watch the brewery has been named IWC Sake Brewery of the Year four consecutive times. POLISH RATE 55% SMV +2 SERVE chilled (5–10°C) PAIRINGS : Oysters on the half-shell acidity and faint salinity echo the brine; melon note complements without overwhelming Chicken liver mousse brightness slices through rich fat the way a Muscadet would White fish sashimi light body and mineral undercurrent mirror lean, clean ocean flavor
