Hakutsuru is located in the famed Nada district of Kobe, a leading sake production area. The name Hakutsuru means “white crane”. The crane’s reserved character and graceful appearance along with the cultural association of seeing a crane in flight as an auspicious sign, makes the crane an ideal symbol to represent the excellent quality of Hakutsuru’s sake.

TASTING NOTES

SHO-UNE, meaning “soaring clouds”, is a supreme Japanese sake using only the finest rice, Yamada-Nishiki, and Nada’s famed natural spring water Miyamizu. This velvety smooth sake has fruity aromas and can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
