Hoyo Kura No Hana Fair Maiden (500ml)
$34.00
Brewed in Miyagi Prefecture by Uchigasaki Brewing Company—Japan’s oldest brewery in the region, founded in 1661—this ethereal Junmai Daiginjo is crafted from the rare Kura no Hana rice, polished to 45%. The brewery is known for its feather-light, refined style, and this sake is a hallmark of that philosophy.
On the nose, it offers the delicate perfume of Muscat grapes with a faint touch of wood and anise. The palate is smooth and airy, with a gentle chewiness and soft, rolling sweetness balanced by refreshingly low acidity. Light enough that the alcohol is barely perceptible, it finishes with a crisp, demure elegance that lingers like a whisper.
