Inspired by the ancient recipe of Hiroemon Takeda, the renowned Samurai and Japanese Sake connoisseur, Hiro is crafted by our own Toji (Master Brewer) using only specially polished rice from the Murakami plain in the Niigata Region. Hiro Blue is a new super premium Japanese Sake that bridges the heritage of the past with the way we drink today. Hiro Blue, Junmai Ginjo Sake, has the character and body to be enjoyed chilled, over ice or in your favorite cocktail. Try it as a Super Hiro (the Hiro Sake-tini). Clear with a platinum blue cast. Nose: delicate vanilla maple nut fudge and spicy pear custard aromas; fruity and fresh, with banana undertones Palate: crisp and smooth, with hints of fruits and vanilla, and a savory sweet potato bread, white mushroom, tart cherry and jicama subtle nuances Finish: smooth, medium body-to-full body for a very well balanced finish.
