Hakushika 'Japanese Orchard - White Peach' Junmai Sake 720ml Hyogo

Luscious and succulent with an ambrosial aroma, Hakushika's White Peach has a delicate sweetness evocative of summertime orchard groves. The white peach (Prunis persica) is considered to be a premium fruit in Japan and is often given as a present during the traditional Japanese summer gift giving season. Although the peach is native to China, it was introduced to Japan during the earliest known era in Japanese history. The white peach, however, was developed in Japan in the 1800s and became a newly recognized peach variety. The white peach has an attractive rosy skin and white, often red-tinged juicy flesh. A symbol of summertime, the white peach remains a beloved fruit of the Japanese.
