Product details
Hakutsuru Chika Junmai Sake Cup is a playful and convenient expression from Hakutsuru, one of Japan’s historic producers based in Nada, Kobe. Inspired by Chika, a young woman living in Osaka, and her cat Haku, each individual cup features charming illustrated packaging that adds a distinctive touch to the experience. Designed for easy enjoyment, the reusable glass can be repurposed after use as a small drinking glass, pen holder, or decorative keepsake. Presented as a five-cup pack, Chika offers a contemporary way to discover Hakutsuru’s approachable style while celebrating Japanese craftsmanship and character.
Smooth and refreshing from start to finish, this light-bodied expression presents a slightly dry profile with delicate aromas of honey and sugarcane layered with roasted almond and cashew. Subtle notes of pear, grapefruit, aniseed, and dark chocolate add further dimension before a short, easy finish. Its versatile character pairs naturally with ramen, sushi, pesto pasta, roasted chicken, or ricotta toast, making it an enjoyable match for both Japanese favorites and casual Western dishes.
