Small volume, artisan production from a husband and wife team in a remote and rural area.
Hakuto "Deep Faith" is the product of a small brewery in Ishikawa, run by husband and wife team Kiichi and Akiko Hakuto. Keeping production small, they are able to put great attention into the quality and nuance of their sake.
On the nose Hakuto is light and crisp, with faint floral and toast notes. The real show happens on the palate, where layers of flavor slowly unfold from a superbly structured core: toasty notes of brown butter and maple rise up along notes of juicy pear. Spice flavors such as black peppercorn, nutmeg, and clove pop up here and there.
Texturally, Hakuto is wonderfully balanced between richness and elegance, it is medium-dry, with a sturdy but not overly weighty body.
Serve chilled, room temp, or warm. Great with cheeses, hearty dishes, potatoes, farm vegetables, and fresh baked bread.
