SAKE HUNDRED HAKUSO

白奏

Sparkling Junmai-Daiginjo
— Gossamer Symphony: SAKE HUNDRED’s Sparkling Elegance from Aso Highlands —   Described by its creator as a “Gossamer Sake,” Hakuso pours the palest gold, shimmering with delicate bottle-born bubbles. Crafted from Fukuoka-grown Yamada-Nishiki rice polished to 18% of its original weight, it undergoes secondary fermentation to reach 14.2% ABV. The result is a whisper-fine mousse with notes of white peach, Muscat, and fresh cream, finishing cool and slate-toned. Hakuso is brewed exclusively at Kawazu Shuzo (est. 1932) in Oguni Town, Aso, Kumamoto. The third-generation kuramoto draws pristine spring water filtered through volcanic rock and revives proprietary Kumamoto yeast for sake of crystalline purity. “Gossamer” reflects both the lace-fine carbonation and the sake’s feather-light sweetness. Polishing removes 82% of every grain, revealing the translucent core that gives Hakuso its clarity. In 2021, Hakuso earned the Gold Medal in the Sparkling Division at the International Wine Challenge, bringing global recognition to rural Kumamoto.
