Hakutsuru - Sayuri Junmai Nigori Sake

Founded in 1743 in the Nada district of Kobe, Hakutsuru is the #1 selling sake brand in Japan. Elegant, thoughtful and delicious sake defines Hakutsuru, but tireless innovation places it in a class of its own. Whether it’s understanding water sources at the molecular level, building a facility to create one-of-a-kind yeast, or developing its own sake-specific rice, Hakutsuru Nishiki, it’s the deep dive into research and development that explains Hakutsuru’s ascension to the top of a centuries-old craft.

Sayuri, meaning ‘little lily’ in Japanese, represents our soft, rich, and floral sake. As a nigori sake, it is coarsely filtered, resulting in a smooth, milky appearance and a creamy mouthfeel. Subtle nuances of white grape are accompanied by a fresh banana note.
