Hakugakusen Junmai Ginjo Shironeri: Clean, Light and Food Friendly Japanese Rice Wine

Hakugakusen Junmai Ginjo Shironeri is a bright and refreshing sake from Fukui Prefecture’s Yasumoto Shuzō (Hakugakusen). Crafted with 100% locally grown Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 55%–58% and spring water filtered through ancient limestone, this Junmai Ginjo is celebrated for its crisp texture, elegant aroma and versatile pairing potential.

On the nose, Shironeri presents a subtle ginjo fragrance with delicate fruity notes of green melon, banana, pear, custard and lily blossom, all wrapped in a clean, polished aroma. The palate is silky and light, gently enveloping the mouth with soft texture and unfolding umami from the rice, lifted by a precise citrus-like acidity. A crisp, dry finish arrives with calming sharpness, cleansing the palate for the next sip.

Hakugakusen Junmai Ginjo Shironeri is brewed using time honored “dancing acidity” techniques and polished to allow full expression of the rice’s inherent elegance. It is meant to accompany food effortlessly, shining alongside a wide range of dishes.

Serve chilled to maintain its fresh aroma and crisp mouthfeel. It pairs beautifully with light seafood, sushi, vegetable dishes and mild cheeses, making it a go-to choice for graceful, modern dining.
