Product details
Koueigiku "Harujion" Muroka Nama Genshu is a captivating sake from Koueigiku Shuzo, a revitalized brewery in Saga Prefecture, Japan. After ceasing operations in 2006, Koueigiku Shuzo was reborn in 2019 under the leadership of passionate individuals dedicated to preserving and innovating traditional sake brewing methods. The brewery specializes in producing "newborn" sakes—fresh, unpasteurized brews that embody a youthful and vibrant spirit. "Harujion," named after the Japanese term for the halcyon flower, reflects an idyllic and peaceful essence, aligning with the brewery's vision of creating harmonious and enjoyable sakes.
Crafted using Shunyo rice and a proprietary yeast strain, this Muroka Nama Genshu presents an inviting aroma reminiscent of sunflowers and melon. On the palate, it delivers bright flavors of muscat and green apple, culminating in a pleasantly tart finish. With an alcohol content of 14%, "Harujion" is best enjoyed chilled to fully appreciate its crisp and invigorating profile. Its lively acidity and fruit-forward character make it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes, including smash burgers, lobster tacos, and roasted cauliflower, enhancing the flavors and providing a refreshing contrast.
