Atagonomatsu Junmai Daiginjo Hakutsurunishiki

Atagonomatsu Junmai Daiginjo Hakutsurunishiki is brewed using premium Hakutsurunishiki sake rice, a refined variety developed to rival Yamadanishiki while offering its own elegant expression. Crafted by Niizawa Brewery, this sake presents a calm, understated aroma and a beautifully balanced profile that is softer and slightly drier, highlighting its rice-driven purity. With gentle aeration, subtle notes of white peach appear on the nose, followed by a fresh and youthful green apple character on the palate. Clean, precise, and quietly expressive, this Junmai Daiginjo embodies Niizawa Brewery’s philosophy of creating the ultimate food-friendly sake, delivering clarity, finesse, and refinement in every sip. Ideal for refined dining, celebratory occasions, or for sake lovers who appreciate elegance over intensity.
