This is Harushika's flagship sake, beloved in over a dozen countries around the world. Its crisp, mellow taste is its defining feature. The brewing water used is spring water from the Kasuga Mountains, a rare hard water in Nara. This water, combined with carefully selected rice that has been polished, produces sake with a light, mellow mouthfeel, a dry yet rich flavor, and a vibrant aroma with a crisp finish. Enjoy it chilled for a light and refreshing taste, or warm it for a crisp, umami-filled taste.
Harushika Brewery was founded in 1884 and is located in the Naramachi quarter of Nara prefecture. Harushika means “Spring Deer” in Japanese. The first capital of Japan was established in Nara prefecture approximately 1,300 years ago in 710 AD. Nara is also said to be the birthplace of Japanese sake. Today Harushika is a very well established brewery. They continue to brew their sake using the Nanto Morohaku method which originated in Nara prefecture.
Their production philosophy is “Polish the rice, polish the water, polish the technique and polish the mind.”
