Hirai Junmai Saké is clean, crisp, dry and elegant. Named for the swans that migrate to the local lake, Hirai is an ideal saké for those who are new to saké but appreciate a quality hand-crafted style. Local ingredients include wild yeast that the brewery propagates itself and very soft water from the on-site well. The savory aroma of freshly cooked rice with hints of tropical fruit leads to a balanced mouthfeel and a clean and crisp finish.
