Product details
Hitori Musume "Only One Daughter" Junmai Sake is a testament to the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of Yamanka Shuzoten, a family-owned brewery established in 1805 in Ishige Town, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Now in its eighth generation, the Yamanaka family has been dedicated to producing high-quality sake that reflects their deep-rooted traditions and passion for the craft. The name "Hitori Musume," meaning "Only Daughter," symbolizes the brewery's affection and pride for their sake, treating each bottle as a cherished family member.
This Junmai sake is crafted using premium Japanese rice and pure water, resulting in a clean and smooth profile. On the nose, it offers floral aromas with hints of fresh pear and green apple, followed by subtle rice nuances. The palate is refreshing and well-balanced, featuring mild sweetness, gentle acidity, and a lingering umami finish. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, it is best enjoyed chilled and pairs excellently with a variety of Japanese dishes such as sushi, sashimi, and grilled seafood. Its approachable flavor profile also makes it a delightful choice for those new to sake.
