Crafted from 100% Hyogo-grown Hakutsuru-Nishiki rice. Because Hakutsuru-Nishiki is produced in such extremely limited quantities, this precious Junmai Daiginjo is not a guaranteed annual release. Fortunately, we were able to secure two consecutive vintages: R5BY and R6BY. It is delicate and silky, offering an exquisite texture paired with crystalline clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vinetsake.wordpress.com\/2025\/01\/27\/sushi-and-abekans-three-daiginjou\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Abekan 阿部勘\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u0026gt;Read more about this bottle at the News Archive\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vinetsake.wordpress.com\/category\/sake\/abekan-%e9%98%bf%e9%83%a8%e5%8b%98%e3%83%bb%e5%9b%9b%e5%ad%a3%e3%81%ae%e6%9d%be%e5%b3%b6%e3%83%bb%e6%96%bc%e8%8c%82%e5%a4%9a%e5%8a%a0%e7%94%b7%e5%b1%b1%ef%bc%88%e9%98%bf%e9%83%a8%e5%8b%98%e9%85%92\/\" title=\"Shiogama Abekan Gencho 塩竈阿部勘玄潮\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u0026gt;Read more stories at the News Archive\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9728\/2020\/files\/abekan_hakutsuru_nishiki_banner_02_490x735_3becbd27-0b4e-4db3-ad81-ffa9e1a5b736.jpg?v=1787048223\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHakutsuru-Nishiki\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHakutsuru-Nishiki is a premium, proprietary sake rice variety developed by Hakutsuru Sake Brewing in Hyogo Prefecture. It shares a rare \"sibling\" relationship with Yamada-Nishiki, the undisputed king of sake rice. Like its famous sibling, Hakutsuru-Nishiki is a crossbreed of the legendary heirloom strains Yamada-Ho and Tankan-Wataribune. Following eight years of rigorous research and cross-selection, Hakutsuru successfully stabilized the grain and officially registered it in 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond producing exceptionally clean sake with complex, floral aromatics, Hakutsuru-Nishiki offers distinct agricultural benefits: its stalks grow slightly shorter than Yamada-Nishiki, making it sturdier against harsh weather. The large grains also boast a magnificent shinpaku (white starch core) that resists cracking during high-ratio milling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile originally exclusive to Hakutsuru, this exceptional rice is now shared with a select group of Japan's top cult breweries—including the makers of abekan and Juyondai—solidifying its reputation as a modern masterpiece in sake agriculture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vin et Saké Nature","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49672529182948,"sku":"T02040176KDC000A","price":380.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9728\/2020\/files\/A447_abekan_735x735_02.jpg?v=1787048121","url":"https:\/\/vinetsakenature.com\/products\/a461-abekan-junmai-daiginjo-%e9%98%bf%e9%83%a8%e5%8b%98-%e7%b4%94%e7%b1%b3%e5%a4%a7%e5%90%9f%e9%86%b8-%e7%99%bd%e9%b6%b4%e9%8c%a6-%e9%98%bf%e9%83%a8%e5%8b%98%e9%85%92%e9%80%a0-%e5%ae%ae%e5%9f%8e%e7%9c%8c-720ml","provider":"Vin et Saké Nature","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
