Tasting Notes
Thousand Cranes, a traditional symbol of good luck, is their most versatile food pairing sake that is equally enjoyable on its own. The combination of Arkansas-grown rice and Hot Springs’ famous mineral water creates the perfect backdrop for their flagship style.
Ripe cantaloupe, honeydew, and pear notes with a subtle umami backbone. Slightly higher acidity finishes crisp and refreshing.
