About

Crisp and refreshing on the palate, with a clean finish. This sake is certified as GI Hakusan sake. GI stands for Geographical Indication (chiriteki hyoji). A geographical indication is granted when established quality, social reputation, and other characteristics are attributable mainly to the geographical origin. Hakusan City, where Kikuhime is located, was also the first place in Japan to receive a geographical indication designation for sake production.
