About

Fruity aromas reminiscent of grapes, with a clean, light palate. True to Morikawa Shuzo's focus on shokuchushu (sake meant to be enjoyed with food), it pairs well with everyday meals. [The Concept: The Extraordinary Within the Everyday] The brand concept of Hakuko Sarasoju is 'sake for the extraordinary.' It is a sake for special days, meant to be enjoyed with a bright, cheerful feeling when something good has happened or when you want to celebrate. With this Junmai Ginjo Sarasoju, we aimed to create a sake that lets you bring a sense of the extraordinary into everyday life with ease. [Yamada Nishiki, the Pinnacle of Sake Rice] The rice used throughout Sarasoju is entirely Yamada Nishiki of special grade or higher, grown in Yokawa-cho in the Special A district of Hyogo Prefecture. When it comes to the finest sake rice, Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo is the name most often mentioned, and within that, Yokawa-cho is known as one of its top producing areas. This Yamada Nishiki is polished to a rice polishing ratio of 60%. [Recommended Pairings] It pairs well with dishes that have a light, refreshing flavor built on oil or vinegar, such as white fish or vegetable tempura and seafood marinades. [Serving Suggestions] Enjoy it chilled or at room temperature, depending on the dish and your preference.
