About
Fresh flavors reminiscent of pineapple fill the palate, followed by a clean acidity that creates a pleasant, lingering finish. Although it is the only genshu (undiluted sake) in the Hakurakusei series, it is a refreshing food-friendly sake with no heaviness whatsoever. It is shipped only once a year, and it has a quietly devoted following of fans.
