Hakutsuru Nishiki

The Nadagogo geographical indication seal is awarded to sake breweries located in the Nadagogo region, a region of Japan known for its high-quality sake production. This seal guarantees that the sake produced by these breweries adheres to the strict quality standards and traditional brewing methods of the region. Nishiki carries that seal. Hand crafted and limited production, Nishiki is the zenith of the Hakutsuru kura.

Hakutsuru spent over 10 years developing their own exceptional Hakutsuru Nishiki rice, becoming the first successful crossbreed of Yamadaho and Wataribune in 70 years. Yamadaho is an excellent Sake rice but frustratingly difficult to grow and is known for creating “velvety smoothness”. Wataribune is an heirloom Sake rice which develops Sakes with a lovely “richness and complexity”.

Hakutsuru Nishiki “Flight of the Crane” is a must for any curated Sake list.

Sake Social says -

“The brew is luxurious, full of lovely floral aromas, yet delicately refined. Enjoy the elegance of refreshing floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom and savor a hint of vanilla sweetness in the extra-long finish.”

Tippsy Sake calls it “The taste of tranquility”

“Using a new strain of rice, Hakutsurunishiki, brewers created a wonderful full-bodied drink with a satisfying floral aroma. This exceptional sake is characterized by hints of jasmine and orange blossom with a dash of vanilla, and its refined finish. Sit, sniff and sip to achieve harmony.”
