Kawatsuru Crane of Paradise Junmai 720ml

The Kawatsuru brewery is located on the island of Shikoku within the Kagawa prefecture—think south of Hiroshima and Okayama and far west of Tokyo. Kawatsuru means river crane, paying respect to the graceful white bird found flying over this land, symbolizing longevity and good fortune. Made with Yamada Nishiki rice, the Crane of Paradise Junmai sake can be described as “umakuchi,” providing a combination of sweet, dry, and umami sensations with each sip.
