Hakushika “Kuromatsu” Snow Beauty
Hyogo prefecture
Thick, rich, wonderful
Unfiltered sake that pours white, like new fallen snow. The nose is fresh, with a sweet coconut and rice pudding aroma. Supported by a hearty thickness and rich rice flavor that nigori is known for, Snow Beauty also has an almost wine-like undertone. Like it’s name suggests, serve this one cold. One sip and you’ll feel like you’re stepping out into a white wonderland.

Tatsuuma Honke Brewing Company
Established in 1662, Tatsuuma Honke Brewing Company has a long history filled with stories. The brewery began with a well they dug that provided them with exceptional quality water. Their brand Hakushika means “white deer”, and is a symbol of good luck and longevity. Their premium sake brand, Kuromatsu, was named in 1920. They’ve progressively sought sake to be enjoyed overseas, and even had a sake brewery in Colorado from 1992-2000. Currently in the 15th generation, they remain a strong leader in the future of sake by keeping the tradition in Nadagogo, a key place in the history of sake.
