About
Crafted with time-honored techniques, this very dry (cho-karakuchi) junmai is the flagship label of Harushika, enjoyed in ten-odd countries around the world. Its gentle aroma and mellow mouthfeel, together with a crisp, clean finish, pair exceptionally well with seafood. Served chilled, it is light and refreshing. Served warmed (kan), it brings out a sharp, crisp umami.
