About
After a smooth, soft first impression, aromas of white grape spread out, wrapped in a gentle sweetness. The finish is true to Hakurakusei: the aroma and flavor vanish cleanly, creating a sense of transparency and kire (a clean, crisp finish). Serve well chilled, with food. For an even better experience, drink it from a glass with a thin rim, such as a wine glass. (Our brewery is a member of Frontier Tojo.)
