Here&#8217;s a little guide!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Hakushika<\/strong> is one of Japan\u2019s well-renowned sake breweries enjoying increasing popularity throughout the world, paired with a wide range of Japanese dishes or appreciated on its own. They brew their sake at Nishinomiya, using the famed <em>\u201cmiyamizu\u201d<\/em>, pure water that springs from Mt. Rokko.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As white rice is stripped of its husk, washed and steam-cooked, cultivated rice koji is sprinkled to provide the essential enzymes for making yeast grow. The mixture is left to ferment over several days, and will be pressed, filtered, and blended into sake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-53029\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/02\/sake-flight-teppanyaki-counter-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/02\/sake-flight-teppanyaki-counter-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/02\/sake-flight-teppanyaki-counter-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/02\/sake-flight-teppanyaki-counter-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/02\/sake-flight-teppanyaki-counter.jpg 1176w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Hakushika Tokusen Ginjo Namachozo<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Brewed with premium sake rice, <strong>Hakushika Ginjo Namachozo<\/strong> is matured at low temperatures in an unpasteurized <em>\u201cnama\u201d<\/em> state. It is only pasteurized right before bottling, giving it a fresh, crisp, and refreshing taste. Best served chilled, it is excellent for pairing with saut\u00e9ed dishes, fried dishes, seafood with konbu (Japanese kelp), and ponzu-seasoned (citrus vinegar) dishes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Hakushika Honjozo Namachozo<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The <strong>Hakushika Honjozo Namachozo<\/strong>, refreshingly elegant with a smooth finish, is a premium sake to which a small amount of brewer\u2019s alcohol is added to enhance the flavor. It is a pleasant accompaniment to grilled dishes, seafood tempura, poultry, vegetables, and noodles (udon, soba, yakisoba).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Hakushika Gouka Sennenju Junmai Daiginjo<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Awarded the 2011 Monde Selection Grand Gold Medal in Brussels, the elegant <strong>Hakushika Gouka Sennenju Junmai Daiginjo<\/strong> is fruity in fragrance, with a delightfully rich body and smooth taste. The recommended pairings are sashimi, tofu dishes, lightly flavored saut\u00e9ed poultry, beef, and vegetables, as well as traditional Japanese flavors such as yuzu citrus, konbu, dashi, and soy sauce.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Sake can be enjoyed warm, room temperature or chilled depending on the type of sake served, the season or climate, and personal preference. A warm cup of Junmai sake is enjoyable during a cold day, while a chilled glass of draft sake is well-suited for a warm summer day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Yamazato is open\u00a0on Tuesdays to Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and\u00a06:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.\u00a0For more information, visit <a href=\"hotelokuramanila.com\" target=\"_blank\">hotelokuramanila.com<\/a> or follow them on Facebook and Instagram.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">This is a press release.
