Hakuin Masamune

"Hakuin Masamune" is a prestigious brand named after the Zen master Hakuin Ekaku (1685-1768), revered as the revitalizer of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism.
The name was born from the master's origins in Hara-juku, Numazu, combining his posthumous imperial title 'Masamune' with the term for refined sake. Reflecting the noble spirit of the master, who was celebrated in the verse 'Two things in Suruga exceed all others: Mt. Fuji and Hakuin of Hara,' this sake features a remarkably pure flavor.
Brewed with soft water from Mt. Fuji snowmelt pumped from 150 meters underground, it is crafted without compromise: 100% Junmai, produced entirely using Hako-koji, Fune-shibori, and rapid bottle pasteurization. Characterized by a crisp finish from Shizuoka Yeast (NEW-5) and a deep umami that complements meal flavors, it is the ultimate food-pairing sake designed to be enjoyed lingeringly over a long evening.
