HARUSHIKA SAKURA JUNMAI 春鹿 櫻 純米酒 720ML
Delicate, elegant, and beautifully floral — a springtime sake from Nara that celebrates Japan’s cherry blossom season.
Brewed by Harushika Brewery (春鹿酒造), a historic sake producer from Nara established in 1884, Sakura Junmai captures the soft beauty of spring through its refined aroma and gentle umami.
Using locally grown rice and pure Nara water, this junmai sake offers light floral fragrance reminiscent of cherry blossoms, a rounded rice sweetness, and a refreshingly dry finish. Balanced and graceful, it’s perfect for sipping under blooming sakura or pairing with delicate Japanese cuisine.
