Hitakame choukarakuchi Junmai

日高見 超辛口 純米

Hitakame Super Dry Junmai is a crisp and structured sake crafted by Hirako Sake Brewery using Miyagi yeast and Hitomebore rice. Known for its clean and precise style, it is designed to deliver a distinctly dry profile while maintaining balance and depth.

Despite its high dryness level (SMV +11), the sake remains composed and expressive. Subtle sweetness and umami from the rice are supported by firm acidity, creating a refreshing yet layered drinking experience. The result is a well-structured sake that is both sharp and harmonious, making it particularly suitable for food pairing.
