Housed in the port town of Ishinomaki, one of the top three fishing grounds in the world, it is only logical that Hirakou Shuzo Brewery has created a Sake that is the ideal complement with fish and seafood dishes. This Junmai offers a subtle aroma of mushrooms and honey, coupled with the freshness of yellow apple, pineapple and orange zest. The bright acidity and dry ample umami flavour gives it a rounded taste with a vibrant, crisp finish. The sharp aftertaste not only brings out the taste of seafood but also cleanses away any hint of oiliness in fish, giving credence to Hirako Shuzo’s statement “If you’re having fish, you’re having Hitakami!”
