Product details
Hakuto Tokubetsu Junmai is a refined expression from Hakuto, a small family-run producer in Wajima, a historic town at the tip of the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture. Created by the husband-and-wife team of Kiichi and Akiko Hakuto, the brand reflects a philosophy of care and dedication inspired by the region’s renowned Wajima-nuri lacquerware tradition, where craftsmanship is passed from generation to generation. Hakuto Tokubetsu Junmai embodies the house style through a balance of depth, elegance, and refinement, bringing together savory umami, subtle sweetness, delicate fragrance, and a gently spiced finish.
The aroma is clean and delicate, with subtle floral notes, honey, and hints of winter spice. On the palate, white pear, maple syrup, and browned butter develop with layered complexity and finesse, supported by savory depth and a touch of sweetness. A delicate, crisp acidity and subtle spice carry through the finish, leaving a balanced and refined impression.
