Hakutsuru Sake's Pinnacle "Tenku Fukurotsuri": The Ultimate Sake Born from 29% Rice Polishing

Hakutsuru Sake Brewing launched its pinnacle sake, "Tenku Fukurotsuri," in September 2026. This ultimate sake is born from the brewery's highest-ever rice polishing ratio of 29% and the traditional fukurotsuri (bag-hanging) method. Skilled engineers dedicated 78 hours to meticulously polish the rice, resulting in a sake where every detail is carefully considered.

Ultimate Polishing and Fukurotsuri Method

The most significant feature of "Tenku Fukurotsuri" is its astonishing 29% rice polishing ratio, meaning only 29% of the rice grain remains. This ultra-high polishing is not merely machine-driven; it's achieved over 78 hours by artisans who meticulously observe the rice's condition. Furthermore, the "fukurotsuri" method is employed, where moromi (sake mash) is placed in sake bags, and only the drops that fall naturally under gravity are collected without pressure. This process extracts a pure, transparent flavor free from impurities.
