Description

Haruhitohira, meaning a single petal of spring, is a lightly cloudy, thin-nigori junmai released as a seasonal spring expression from Kikusui Shuzo in Nagano. The light veil of rice particles gives it a soft, slightly creamy texture while the junmai base provides a gentle rice sweetness and a delicate, floral spring character.
