Product details
Hakutsuru’s Gift Set built around the signature Yamada Nishiki range celebrates over 280 years of craft in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, a region celebrated for its mineral-rich natural spring water and elite rice cultivation. The brand’s hallmark lies in its proprietary rice variety, cultivated through over a decade of rice-breeding efforts to achieve a grain even more expressive than Yamada Nishiki itself. This elegant set showcases bottles polished to half their original size, producing a refined, rich character that’s both crisp and full-bodied—a true expression of thoughtful development and unwavering quality.
On the palate, the set offers a plush experience—fruit-forward aromas of pear and apple entwined with delicate floral hints of jasmine and orange blossom, followed by a whisper of vanilla on an extended finish. Best enjoyed alongside lighter fare such as fresh seafood or a delicate almond-apricot dessert, it complements food without overwhelming it.
