Hakutsuru Sayuri Nigori Junmai Ginjo is a Japanese sake expression produced by Hakutsuru Sake Brewing Co. founded in 1743 in Nada, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.
This sake is a nigori, which means that it is unfiltered and contains suspended rice particles, giving it a milky and opaque appearance. It is also a junmai ginjo, which means that it is made from at least 60% polished rice and pure spring water is used for fermentation with house yeast.
Hakutsuru Sayuri Nigori Junmai Ginjo has a smooth and creamy taste with notes of nuts, white flowers and white fruits. It is slightly acidic with a smooth, clean finish. The sake is usually served chilled and can be shaken before tasting to mix the suspended rice particles and give a creamier taste.
Created by Toji (Master Brewer) Mitsuhiro Kosa, this sake whose name Sayuri means "little lily" in Japanese, pairs well with spicy dishes, raw fish or seafood dishes, as well as coconut or mango desserts.

Brewery Hakutsuru Sake
Founded in 1743 in Kobe, in the Nada district, by Jihei Kano, Hakutsuru is a historic house of sake and one of the leading brands in Japan. The brewery is distinguished by its history but also by a complete mastery of the entire production chain, from the cultivation of rice to the production of sake.
Hakutsuru has thus designed its own variant of Nishiki rice, grown in Tamba-Sasayama in HyĹŤgo prefecture. With its 275 years of experience, Hakutsuru has managed to strike a balance between artisanal production and volume since the brand is very present in Japan but is also a major export player with distribution of its products in more than 55 countries.
If sake remains its flagship product, the Hakutsuru house has also developed its offer of other Japanese alcohols such as gin, umeshu or, more recently, whisky with the single malt Tancho.
