Sake in Review : 白鶴 Hakutsuru

June 28th, 2011

Hakutsuru (White Crane) is a Junmai Sake made in Kobe, Japan.    I  have sampled many different sakes from very cheap to very expensive, and Hakutsuru is I think the best value within the USA.   It can be served both hot and cold without losing it’s character.   It is a clean, slightly sweet without being a fruity sake.  It also has an acidity to wake up the senses with only a slight tail on the back end.   Because of it’s price per volume value, this is my standard drinking sake.

1.8 Liter  $16.00
