Hanahato “Hana Colombe” Hatsushibori

This one’s a fun, unfined, unpasteurized and undiluted sake from the Hana Colombe series that can be enjoyed on the rocks, or cut with hot water like shochu. Hattannishiki sake rice grown in Hiroshima is used, creating sake with a very forgiving, soft texture. The fresh and simple flavor profile will please both sake newbies and connoisseurs, and pairs best with lighter main dishes such as fish and chicken.
